I have a wisdom tooth coming in and the whole lower left side where the tooth is coming in hurts. The upper teeth sometimes to hurt also. I can hardly chew because how painful it is. It feels like i'm chewing on my gum. It is normal for this type of pain? I don't know because this is the first one. I plan on making a dentist appointment, but can't until Monday.

totally normal. The wisdom teeth usually come in crooked causing pressure and pain to all the other teeth in the arch. Mine are coming in now and have been hurting for days. You can try motrin to relieve the pain and swish warm salt water around in your mouth for some relief until you can see the dentist.

Chilln'l is right. Teeh hurt when they come in. You may just need to have the sharp point trimmed off the upper wisdom tooth so that it won't hurt your lower gum so much when it hits it. That would be very easy and a "best case" scenario.
For the weekend, try some OraJel or other product with 20% benzocaine. Follow the label directions.

Totally normal. The gums are most likely swollen and it feels like its traveling upwards towards your upper teeth. Until the tooth cuts through, the pain subsides.

This is normal pain. The teeth are coming in and there is not enough room for them so they are crowding your other teeth. Glad you are going to make an appointment. Sounds like you will be getting them out.
