I got dry socket in all four sockets when I had my wisdom teeth removed. That was pretty sucky - I was unable to keep food or even water down for days until my oral surgeon FINALLY gave me some pain meds that worked and stuffed the sockets with numbing gauze.
The headache I had for 3 weeks after getting some serious whiplash was pretty bad (migraine that I started and ended the day with, every day, for three weeks - and it kept me from sleeping, too). I got a similar headache after being in a car accident a couple years later - that time, however, I knew to go to a chiropractor right away instead of waiting until one side of my face was hypersensitive and the other was numb.
