I haven't yet had my wisdom tooth out, but I have had alot of pain with it. For the past few months a lymph node in my neck has been swollen. Both the dentist and the doctor has assured me that it is because of and infection in my wisdom tooth. maybe you have just got an infection from getting the tooth removed.
if you have another tooth pushing it out , and it the tooth is comming from a different spot. It might be a surnumerary tooth - an extra wisdom tooth. But this should have been seen on a panoramic x-ray if it was taken in your late teens. It also might be a peace of root that was left out from the extraction of the wisdom tooth that was there.
