PAIN!

40. On Dry sockets and plantars warts:

A dry socket hurts like a bitch. BTDT, and you have my deepest sympathy. Clove oil. Seriously. I went back to my oral surgeon and he took a little wad of cotton, dipped it in clove oil and jammed it down in that open hole. I almost came up outta that chair, but it helped a HUGE amount. I dunno that I'd want to jam anything in that open hole at home, but you might want to try applying clove oil to that hole and see if it abates the pain any...

As for the warts on your foot, if you want to treat those at home, go buy a package of those medicated corn plasters they sell in the grocery store. Put that little medicated disk on the black spots and cover with those padded disks. It'll take a couple of weeks, but you will get rid of the warts. I've also used fresh lemon peel taped over the wart, but it takes longer and I thought it hurt more.

I want to assert here, I am NOT a Doc, and you are capable of making your own calls about your health care--but this is what I have used personally, and it worked for me. Good luck, and feel better!
