Probably normal: What you are experiencing could be expected from the surgery you just had. If you have any doubt get yourself checked by the dentist for an infection or dry socket. It is also possible that you have an ear infection besides the usual pain from the surgery.

Trauma Muscle Spasm: The trauma of surgery could aggravate the TMJ or muscle dysfunction problem allowing a muscle spasm to occur which is like what you are explaining. Find a dentist that is familiar with TMJ & muscle dysfunctions.
