How long will I feel pain for with spacers?

I got Spacers yesterday, and i got braces on the top row of teeth. I am getting the wire put through the top braces, and as well as the bottom braces, on wednesday. Problem is, I cannot eat anything! It hurts to eat soft food too! I am in so much pain because of the spacers. How long will it hurt for? And what are spacers? Thanks!

    -they will probably hurt for a few days, at the most a week. remember that the more you get used to the pain, the less your teeth will hurt. until then, cut your food up into smaller pieces or eat softer foods

    -spacers do exactly what they sound like: they add more space between your teeth
