Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

From your explanation pain in tooth along with swelling of cheek seems to be due to infection in tooth and there can be associated abscess formation. Pain in ear and head can be radiating pain from the infected tooth site. However pain in shoulder and forearm does not seems to be due to it. For the tooth related problem consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and an X-ray can be done for confirmation of the severity of decay in tooth. If tooth can be saved then Root Canal treatment can be done followed by antibiotics and painkillers. If the tooth is grossly decayed then extraction can be done. Pain in arm and shoulder can be muscular in origin and you can try muscle relaxant for it or consult an Emergency room and get checked.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
