What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Legs After Tooth Extraction?

default
Posted on Fri, 31 Mar 2017
Question: I had my upper left wisdom tooth extracted about 30 hours ago. Doctor prescribed hydrocodon, ibeprofen and amoxicillin. I looked up the side effects an none alarming. About 3 hours ago after my pain medication started wearing down, my leg started tingling and I feel a nerve like pain going down my leg. The leg problem is on the same side as the extraction. The doctor gave me three doses of local anesthetic before pulling the tooth. My blood pressure is slightly lower than normal but no alarming. What could be causing this symptom?? Please help!
