Yes, this looks like it could be a problem. How can we help over this forum though?
Just wondering if that is normal for a reg. 3rd molar extraction! I had to go back in and have bone removed and filed as well as it stitched all back together and was wondering if thats right or not! Tried to get a second opinion but no other dentist wants to mess with it!

Not normal, but bad stuff can happen. The question is how is the doctor handling it and are you being treated properly or not. I cannot determine that from what you describe.
