Based on your complaint
TMJ disorder due to GERD is highly uncommon/ rare
You are getting pain in lower jaw bone as you elicited
Tmj disorders are pertinent to the joint/ligament/muscles assosisated with joint
So it's not a tmj problem don't worry
U also have sore throat.
Next Steps

GERD and TMJ are not related directly. However,both may be related to lifestyle and stress. Inducing measures to ease out your day may help in both situations. Regards.
Next Steps
-Seek a general physician's opinion for reducing acid reflux and stress,if any.
- Rather than medicines,hot fomentation of the jaw area will help without side effects.
Health Tips
Remember that many pain relievers themselves cause hyperacidity. Hence take them to relieve your jaw pain with medical supervision.
