can dry socket packing slip out of place

I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth out on the 28th. I had gotten dry socket in both bottom sections, worst was on my left side though. I went in this week on Wednesday, they put some sort of gauze packing in both sides, and told me to come back to be repacked tomorrow, which I did. It's now a day later and my left side aches, along with the taste of the gauze. Could the gauze packing have moved from me talking or eating?
