It's like getting a tooth pulled out; after the dentist takes it out, after it's gone, you're relieved.
But how many times will your tongue run over the spot where the tooth used to be?
Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it was hurting you doesn't mean you don't notice it now that it doesn't. It leaves a gap, and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It's going to take a while, but it takes time.
Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you pain. Pulling the tooth was the right decision, even if it's going to hurt.
