I have paranoia issues and ever since I got my 4 of my impacted tooth removed (top and bottom) I've been worried about getting a dry socket constantly. I check everytime to see if I have a hole in my surgical areas, but they are still closed and stitched up... its been about 3 days ever since the surgery and I'm wondering if its possible to still develop dry socket at this time? I dont know what a blood clot is supposed to look like but I have a dark dried blood following the lines of the areas where my gums were cut.

Also, im wondering if its normal to have this thobbing/slightly itchy sensation on a removed wisdom tooth? For some reason before I got my surgery done, the top right has always bothered me the most and even after I got it removed its the most painful out of the bunch (the other ones dont hurt anymore as much) is this normal?
