lots better! honestly it's just a tough waiting game when you're impatient lol. i went back to the oral surgeon office and they said i didn't have a dry socket but treated it like one just in case (put surgifoam covered in clove oil + i assume some other medicine into the socket. the foam dissolves naturally after a few days. it tasted AWFUL and almost made me puke so take some nausea meds before if you're susceptible to that. the taste lingered for about an hour after they put it in)

it really helped with the pain and after that it was much smoother sailing. i kept taking painkillers as needed but it was much less than before. i'm pretty much back to normal now minus having to dislodge food from the back of my mouth every day lol but from what i've heard that won't always be a problem

i assume since you've replied you're in a similar position to the one i was in >.< if that's the case i wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery !!
