I want to cry. The rubber bands hurt SO badly.
Took two extra strength Tylenols before hopping on the red eye to Boston last night, which is saying a lot, as I have a very high tolerance for pain. But it wasn't enough. It hurt so badly I couldn't drift to sleep and I wanted to rip my mouth off. Well, that wouldn't be a good idea, so I ripped the rubber bands off instead. My ortho had told me it'd feel a little sore. But this was not a "little sore". It was FULL-ON PAIN.
I don't know how I'm gonna survive the next six days.

Hang in there!!
Hey Kristen - stay tough and keep reminding yourself that the end is near!
The pain should subside after a couple of days, but it sure can be rough. I found that I hurt the most at night - actually waking up because of the pain several nights in a row. Even now, just using the little triangle configurations, I find that my jaws ache more in the mornings than during the day.
What about Advil? It ought to work far better than Tylenol since it is an anti-inflammatory.
