Take it slow and easy, mine were an easy 5 min extraction with minimal pain and drugs, but I still couldn't eat solids for a good 3 days, so I felt a little weak when I did finally start to move around. The other thing I encountered, I think it was 4 days later I tried to go running and I experience a bit pulsing or throbbing underneath the stitches in my gums, just a feeling of a lot of blood flow through the area, so I took it easy and had no problems.

i would suggest taking it easy for as long as possible. i had dry socket and that is the worst pain i have ever been in, ever. you do not want to dislodge the clot and wake up at 3 am crying. my suggestion is at least 5 days off.

I would say just go by feel. When I got mine out I never even got the pain pill prescription filled, ate chili that night and steak the next day. My younger brother had a rougher time, was pretty well out of commission for 4 days or so. Play it by ear, taking an extra day off will be less detrimental than getting dry socket.
