Hi
I went through your previous query and this one as well.
Reading all I feel it's trismus. With stiff muscles you might be having difficulty in opening your mouth and it will be painful when you try to open it .
It can be due to long dental procedures where the patient has to open wide mouth for longer duration or wrong injection site ( in your case during extraction)
Treatment is muscle relaxants and forces jaw opening
Regards
