Going through a great deal of physical pain right now myself, I sympathize so much. It's very true what you say about people not being able to empathize with what they can't see, and then assume that you must be fine because you're not actively writhing in agony. There are times when I'm at work or around others where inwardly I'm screaming my lungs out with how much things can start to hurt--but honestly, who wants to vocalize that and: 1)Burden others with it. 2)Embarass ourselves by exposing our vulnerabilities.
I hope your pain lessens soon. You're right that it's different for everyone--I honestly don't remember my full wisdom teeth experience, so unfortunately I can't give you a realistic idea when it will be over. You're doing great though, and by all means express "Fuck this hurts!" in places where it's safe to like lj all you need to.
