Arthritis is usually in your joints, i.e. knees, hips, fingers, wrists, ankles, etc. Jaw and chest are not typical arthritis pain places. TMJ for the jaw makes much more sense.

And no, unfortunately narcotic pain meds don't do much for Arthritis pain, have you talked to your Dr. about Arthritis meds? And have you seen an Internist or Cardiologist regarding the chest pain?

It's a pity to hear this! My friend is a fitness trainer and he advised my father who has got the same problem as arthritis to try cortisone therapy: https://steroidssaleguide.com/what-is-cortisone-what-does-it-do-what-is-cortisone-used-for/ ? Of course, you need to consult your doctor first. My dad felt better after a few days of such hormone injections.
