Laurel, I seriously doubt that the pain in your jaw is from the med. My understanding is what happens with the ONJ is when you have a procedure such as a root canal, or some kind of surgery on the jaw, that neucrosis occurs at the site of the procedure and basically you end up with a big abcess in the bone at that location. There are no indications in the jawbone that will preceed this problem. What I am telling you is just from information I heard within the dental profession.
This neucrosis from the biophosphanate happens only in the jaw and no other part of the body.
If you have not had any significant invasive dental procedures done recently, I doubt your jaw has anything to do with ONJ from your med.
This is just my opinion with no knowledge of existing conditions in your mouth.
