Have your dentist or an oral surgeon numb you and explore the area possibly.  They may need to open it up and see if there's any remaining pieces of tooth/bone that may be causing pain.

I actually had a patient who I removed a tooth about 2-3 years ago come back with pain in that area.  It was a little swollen and nothing showed up on the x-ray.  The small piece of bone finally pushed its way out a little of the gum and I removed it.  I haven't followed up with her (it was actually just this week I think) but I should be seeing her soon.
