Brief Answer:
Jaw pain can be due to tooth
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in.
As per your symptoms, I would like to tell you that lower molar can cause pain in jaw due to same nerve supply but pain in neck and muscle soreness need not be due to same.
You may take muscle relaxant for muscle soreness and see how it goes after extraction. If pain still persists then consult physician.
Hope I answered your query
Wishing you a good health
Kind Regards
