How long does the pain of wisdom tooth extraction last?

I had my lower right wisdom tooth extracted a couple of weeks ago, it seems to be healing well the dissolveable stitches have gone and no hole it seems! The rest of that side of my mouth is really painful still, so I was wondering how long other people were in pain after wisdom tooth extraction? I presume it's due to bruising.

3 weeks ago
I went back last week and they said everything was healing fine no sign of infection, they couldn't tell me why I was in so much pain still.
It was supposedly an easy extraction so no bone or gum cutting needed.

Everyone has different results because everyone's wisdom teeth are different. I had two done, separately, the first took a couple of days to settle down and the other a couple of weeks because it had been deep into my jaw. It may indeed just be bruising, but to set your mind at rest go back to the dentist.
