Should I still be in pain two weeks after a tooth extraction and bone graft?

tonya1975
Two weeks ago I had one of my molar teeth extracted along with a bone graft in preparation for an implant. I developed a dry socket and that seems to have cleared up. I am still in quite a bit of pain, my gums, my jaw and what feels like my cheek. I take Advil a couple times a day for relief. I went in yesterday and was told all looks good, however it is healing pretty slow. Should I still be in this much pain and be uncomfortable?
