It is difficult to know the answer to this question for sure, but medical scientists generally consider cluster headaches to be the most painful condition that a human can experience.

My guess is anywhere from a few days to a week and a half. Also if you smoke, you increase the risks of having a dry socket, which causes intense pain.
