Even after tooth extraction the pain persists so we would have to check for
1) sinus infection or perforation as it is the upper molar,a scan of the area would help.2)Gum infection on that side
3) Traumatic Bite,that is your teeth when they meet are causing trauma to the underlying gum and bone.A prosthodontist would be the right person for this.Regards,
