Hello,
As mentioned in the history, the injury is at the shoulder. then it might lead to jaw pain. because the muscles of the neck and the front of the neck will have a bit of tightness. Example, a person having shoulder injury. will always tend to keep the shoulder elevated and that leads to additional stress on the muscles of the upper back and also the neck. which indirectly leads to headaches.
Similar pattern for your injury. it will be an indirect affect on the muscles and that is where you have a jaw pain. Using hot water fermentation should help reduce the muscle spasm. also a simple gentle massage over the muscles of the jaw will be helpful to reduce the jaw pain. For headache you can take simple medicines like paracetamol.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
