adjacent teeth pain after dental implant surgery

About 2 years ago on April 12, 2014 I was hit in the mouth by an elbow when i was playing basketball. I noticed a few months afterwards that i had a pinkish color tint on tooth #7. My dentist never said anything about it. On March 15,2016 i was eating a piece of hard candy and tooth #7 cracked, i went straight to my dentist and he did an xray and noticed that tooth #7 was decaying in the back of the tooth and could not be fixed ( the nerve was gone and could not be seen on the xray). Tooth #8 and #6 looked perfectly fine. On April 11, 2016 I had a oral surgeon pull my tooth and he placed a implant on tooth #7. I started wearing an essix retainer immediately afterwards with a fake tooth to cover up the missing tooth. The fake tooth overtime seemed like it was to wide and I also noticed that the adjacent tooth #8 and tooth #6 started hurting around June 9, 2016.

I went to my oral surgeon and he did an xray on June 12, 2016 and said the implant on #7 looked good but was concerned about tooth #8 and #6 because of the pain and because the xray looked like those two teeth did not have a perfect white arch on the root like the other teeth next to them. He sent me back to my dentist who looked at the same xrays and said they were perfectly fine and he said there was no cavities. He shaved down the sides of my fake tooth on my essix retainer. It felt a little better but i still have some pressure when i first put on my essix retainer in the morning and it bothers me a little at the end of the day. My tooth #8 and #6 still hurt and its June 22, 2016. What should I do?
