Default Wisdom teeth = what kind of pain?

I need to have my wisdom teeth taken out, but I'm trying to hold on until December because I only have a part-time job until I graduate then...so I have no insurance yet.

The only thing I'm wondering about is the pain caused by wisdom teeth coming in...I've never had a problem until recently, and I have pain all throughout my jaw line, almost like the pain you experience when you have sore muscles. If I massage my jaw, it feels AMAZING and the pain kind of subsides for a bit. The pain isn't constant, but it does come and go quite a bit.

I usually hear about the pain of the teeth growing in, like pain inside the mouth or whatever...but is this pain in the jaw common, or should I ask the dentist about it when I see him next month (he knows I have future plans to have them taken out, and performed x-rays on them a few months back).

Just want to find out if this is typical of wisdom teeth when it's time to have them pulled...
