Doubtful: See your PCP for onging evaluation of shoulder pain/dysfunction. There is not a strong relationship between shoulder pain ,unless you have a heart condition like angina pectoris or advanced coronasty artery disease.

Jaw issues: Possible that you damaged jaw joint ligaments or muscles at the time of your shoulder injury. You may have jaw joint disc out of place, or jaw bone fracture. Recommend seeing Orthodontist to asses your bite issues. Referral to Oral Surgeon may also be indicated.
