Dry socket: Probably a dry socket. See dentist or oral surgeon who will likely pack socket -- relief soon.

See your surgeon: Sorry about your pain. A dry socket typically causes a sharp and sudden increase in pain commencing 2–5 days. If you still have pain after 2 weeks it might be some strange persisting infection in the bone. See your surgeon for post op evaluation. Good luck.

Unbearable Pain: It is not normal to have unbearable pain two weeks postoperatively. Something might be amiss. Please call your oral surgeon for a follow up visit.

Whatever the reason: Whatever the reason, and there are multiple possibilities, it is very important that you return to your Oral Surgeon for immediate reevaluation and treatment.
