Is it normal to have so much pain after a dental implant?

Dentalimplantpain
Hello, I had one implant placed 1 week ago - it is for the 2nd molar in. Although the pain has improved somewhat, I am still unable to sleep without pain medications. I am very concerned that something may be wrong (?) since this amount of pain doesn't seem normal. My dentist rechecked me a few days ago, and said he shared my xray with a colleague - he said they both agreed everything looks perfect. I know TMJ is part of my problem, but I do still have actual throbbing pain at the dental implant
