Hello. I would suggest you to get the occlusion checked for highpoints. The pain on biting and tapping and biting and X ray showing widened pdl is suggestive of occlusal discrepancy/highpoints(co-ordination between your upper and lower teeth is not right). That could be a reason of constant jaw pain and mpds too. If that is the reason, extraction is not the treatment for you. Occlusal correction should be done.
