Hi. Please visit an Oral Surgeon to rule out the cause. He/ She will clinically examine you and look for the cause of pain. If it's pain in the jaw due to clenching then he will prescribe the treatment for that. If the pain is due to high points in the filling the that high points needs to be removed. For both the things a Clinical examination is required.

All your symptoms are because of traumatic bite, this can be only accurately treated with digital occlusal analysis, and very few do this and we are specialised in this. Get your filling adjusted, but that will not stop your night grinding. If left untreated can lead to TMD.
