Yes. You can get Arthritis in any joint in your body, including your jaws. I have Lupus, and joint pain is a big problem for me. My jaws often become arthritic (inflamed and swollen). If jaw pain is a problem for you, I would definitely see a doctor. In some cases, jaw pain can be a sign of something more serious.
