Every person is different, but my husband just has gone through kind of the same thing. First of all we thought it was more cancer but it wasnt. His jaw has not healed back together. This is called non union of the jaw bone. When he gets pain and swelling all the way to his ear, it means (in his case) that he has an infection. He then takes strong antibiotics, the swelling and pain then go away. The Doc says since the bone is not together the infection comes from bactria in the mouth. The infection has not spread to his bone because we know when it comes and the doc are on top of it. Hope this helps, I dont know if it is the same thing but, my husband teeth also move as does his jaw. Any ? just ask.
