10 Dry Socket Symptoms
Symptom #3: Pain Spreads
With injuries often comes pain. The pain can often be unbearable, but it will usually at least stay at the location where the injury occurred. Not all pains are the same, though, and some can radiate out to other parts of the body. A dry socket is not an injury as such, but the patient might find that the pain begins to spread.
Patients with the condition can find that the pain spreads from the jaw to the eyes, ears, neck, and temple. The pain can be very difficult to bear and it will likely be on the same side as the affected socket. If the pain is too unbearable, then a dentist may be able to prescribe something for the pain.
