See the dentist: Do you smoke? If so, this can delay healing causing pain. Do you have any health issues? The jaw pain could be from bone fragments working themselves out, food impacted into the extraction sites or sharp exposed jaw bone. See the dentist that removed the teeth.

Dry socket???: Lower wisdom teeth especially impacted ones that required removing bone take longer to heal. It might be infected and/or you are having a dry socket. When was the last time you had it checked by the dentist that removed the wisdom tooth?
