Thank you for your query,
The chances of your pain and infection due to extraction of your wisdom teeth which were extracted year before are rare.
As I can understand from the symptoms written, this pain may be due to infection in your jaw muscles.
I would advise you to take muscle relaxant and consultant your Dentist to rule out any other pathology.
