here as per your explanation if i am your doctor i will definitely have a check on your old mri and ct scan but i believe they must have done mri and ct for the brain and not for the jaw joint so here i suggest to do x ray of your jaw joint and checked it properly by orthopaedic doctor he will suggest you the best possibility of treatment.
On your own you can also check when do you have more pain at your jaw joint? If you are having more pain only after doing a moment of your jaw joint like trying hard food substances or talking a lot then it may be related to your jaw joint your.
And I suggest to do minimum movement in that case so that it gets some time to heal on its own too.
But looking at the severity of your pain jaw joint x ray must be taken to rule out inside bone crack.
And do appropriate treatment needed.
You can also use hot or cold pack some times when its paining to much to have some temporary relief.
Take care.
