Still in pain after Wisdom tooth extracted 11 days ago

[Ashreee_ann]

I had one of my wisdom teeth removed 11 days ago and I am still in a significant amount of pain. I went back to the dentist on the 4th day and was told I had "dry socket" and the healing is now abnormal and prolonged. They packed my socket with that clove material/fibre. This did relieve some of the pain temporarily but tasted absolutely disgusting and fell out after 2 days. I then went back again on day 6 to have the socket packed again. This again provided temporary relief but has fallen out again.
It's now day 11 and I am still in excruciating pain with a large open hole in my gum. It doesn't seem infected, no pus or fever. And when I was at the dentist a few days ago he told me it wasn't infected. I clean it everyday with warm salty water. I am solely relying on painkillers to get through the day, which is making my job difficult. And often I wake up from the pain in the early hours of the morning when the painkillers have warn off. I still cannot eat properly (limited solid foods) or drink water without triggering more pain. And I feel like the pain is not isolated to the area of the extraction but is actually up the side of my face and into my ear.
I know that dry socket makes the healing slower but should I still be in so much pain?
It's almost unbearable!
