Does getting wisdom teeth out hurt? I'm talking during the procedure and afterwards.

I am not being put to sleep. Just being looped up on the drugs.

When I had my wisdom teeth extracted, I had nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), along with novocaine, and I was conscious during the procedure, but felt nothing. I had some pain afterward for a day or so, but it wasn't terrible. I took some anti-swelling pills beforehand; I was given prescription Tylenol with codeine for pain afterwards, but I only took one dose.
