Hard boil bump on the extraction site
I have extracted my upper wisdom tooth 8 weeks back. It was erupted tooth and I had no stitches. I went for follow up after 2 weeks and it was fine. Since last week, I see a hard boiled blister like heat boil but with no pus. If I touch it, it feels so hard and pointy. But looks like blister bump. But hard to touch. It's on tht gum of the extraction site. Is this normal? I run over the tongue over the wisdom tooth site and the hole is closed now. I didn't have any stitches. I see some gap between the second molar and the extraction site. Feels little gap where there is no hard gum and feels loose gap when I run over the tongue. I have some lower jaw pain and neck pain with swelling going for 3 months. I couldn't feel any pain from this extraction site. But if I touch or press the blister, it's so sore and tender after pressing. It hurts after that. Its so hard feels sharp to touch. Is this normal?

The hard and pointy thing that you are mentioning might be a bony fragment. It is better to get a check up done. The cause of pain might be the tooth adjacent to the wisdom tooth that was extracted as it seems decayed in the xray that you have posted.
