Can Tooth Removal Cause Stiffness In Neck,headache And Ear Pain?

I am a 68 year old male.It started with a stiff neck which evolved into a mild headache on side of my head, which has subsided leaving a dull, ache that moves from earache to upper molar ache. However, upper molars have been removed so there are no teeth where the pain is located. I wear a partial. Could this be an ear infection or tooth problem?
