Hi!
Pain is extremely uncomfortable and I can totally understand your concern.
Please don't worry about it. Extraction sites take a little longer to heal sometimes.
Next Steps
Follow up questions :
1. Did you get an X ray done after the extraction ( post op x ray) ? (Share it here)
2. Isd you follow all precautions after the extraction.
3. Do you regularly/ occasionally smoke?
4. What medications were you prescribed after extraction?

healing site is having two forms soft tissue healing usually 2 to 4 weeks.
second form is bone healing which takes 3 to 5 months. so better wait for more time.
also rule out any bone spicule or remanent in socket or delayed healing.
Next Steps
Take second opinion and get X ray done.
