TMJ ?: this could just be muscle soreness from the original jaw injury, depending on how it happened. TMJ is another kind of jaw pain caused by overuse. My advice wild be to avoid foods requiring a lot of chewing until yur jaw is starting to feel better. Consider a dentist or oral surgeon if the pain is not going away with time or gets worse
