thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the reason for your problem could be a disc displacement in the jaw joint od retrodiscitis that could be causing twisted nerve kind of experience... consult a oral physician and get your TMJ examined....you might need a MRI of the joint if required after examination..i hope my answer will help you take care..
