Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain after extraction of the wisdom tooth could be because of the sharp bony margins in the extracted site or it can be pain from the injection site.
Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. If there is a sharp bony margin, then get it rounded off. If it is pain from the injection site, then it takes time to reduce(2-3weeks), do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
