How long does pain from a dry socket last?

I was diagnosed with a dry socket 3 days ago and I am wondering how long the pain lasts. The dentist is filled the hole with the something and she said that I didn't need to come back for changes of the dressing. I am just wondering how long the pain lasts - I can't take it anymore!!

Update:

The tooth that was pulled was a bottom molar.

    I'm not sure. The pain might go within tommorow or something.
