What Causes Headache And Pain In Legs After A Tooth Extraction?

I had 3 teeth extracted the other day by a horrible dentist with Aspen dental - I went to a new dentist yesterday who prescribed to me antibiotics which the other dentist never did... I have a low grade fever, and some discomfort, headache but worst of all my legs and arms ache... I kept telling the first dentist that I could feel bad pain when he was taking the teeth out but he kept on going... my legs and arms were all over the place since I was in such pain and I tensed up pretty badly... I am worried and my new dentist is great but worried about the leg and arm pains... Not sure what it is?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

It is sad to hear of your tough time with the dentist , and feels equally good that you are in better hands now.

I would advice you to continue the medication as prescribed .

Generalised arms and legs pain is a uncommon condition after tooth removal , though a slight rise in temp can be expected.
The stress which you have undergone with the procedure could have created such a panic situation for you, just relax and rest well ,and it will reduce in its own .

If you have any general issues which is not been mentioned here ,which can be the cause of pain,please get it checked with your GP doctor .

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
