neck pain & migraine

[sara1975]

i had pain due to an wisdom tooth turning in my gum, i had face, eye, jaw and head pain on the right side.
i also lost the sight in one side of my right eye for about 30 mins.
i had the wisdom tooth removed and had very bad pain in all those areas for 2 weeks none stop.
over the next few months the pain got better but i would still get the pains every now and again.
while this was happening i was also having neck pain and acheing in right side of the back of my head.
about a month ago i turned my head to the left and started to see rainbow coloured zig zags and then felt acheing coming from my neck up to my head, it wasnt a bad pain.
i have since had this happen 4 times after turning my head to the left.
the pain is always on the right apart from when i turned my head to the left and i felt something crunch in my neck and the pain went to the left side of my head.
i also have numbness, tingleing, burning , stinging and shooting pains on the right side and my face feels like its too tight and i need to relax it.
i have a problem with my jaw, it locks and is sometimes painful.
i have a few times trapped something in my neck as my arm will feel heavy and numb but if i move my neck around my arm goes back to normal.
i have felt around my neck to see if anything hurts and at the very back of where the head and neck meet to the right, at the curve hurts, i pushed it and it started the pain off.
one doctor told me i have one shoulder higher than the other, one doctor told me im causeing migraines by constricting the blood to my brain when i turn my neck but ive had no xrays no mri and not one doctor has even looked at my neck, ive just been given diclofenac sodium 50 mg.
could you please tell me if you think its caused my my neck?
if its just migraines?
or its something to do with my wisdom tooth and jaw?
or all of these things? thankyou

thankyou all for your replys.
lowering my chin didnt give me a burning feeling but i guess its not that good that my chin wont go on my chest, its about 2 inches off of reaching it.
the pain or should i say aching as its more like an ache than a pain, bit like muscle ache is not in my spine its in the ligament/tendon (not sure what its called) that run up the side of the spine and connect to my head,  you know the 2 long  tendons or whatever they are that stick out either side of the back of your neck if you put your head back you can feel them .
if i push on the right one at the base of my scull it starts the ache off.

Sounds like cervical stenosis and the wisdom tooth thing is simply coincidental. Stating that when you turn your head to the left the pain/pressure is relieved on the right, regardless of the rainbow effect, not to discount that issue, suggests a stenosis or narrowing of the spinal canal which can impinge your spinal cord. A true simple test is if when you lower your chin to your chest and raise your head back what is the sensation that you feel? If it is a burning sensation be sure to get to a physician that will order your MRI w/o contrast radicular. How do I know this? Because I have Multi-spinal stenosis and it is a very painful condition. If you have impingements then it could explain the rainbow effect, otherwise known as opticular issues. Either way, stenosis can cause permanent nerve damage and possible paralysis, if left untreated. Better to be safe than sorry based upon what you have described. Best of Luck!

Get to a doctor that will find out what is going on! This sound VERY serious.
Good Luck to you & God Bless

I think you need a new doctor.  Sound like basic assessments have not been performed.  An MRI of the head and cervical spine is not an unreasonable request.  Color disturbances from turning your head are abnormal. It sounds like your current doctor isn't listening to you.
