Pain in the right side of the body from head to leg

I've been having painful right side head and shoulder ache that extended to my arm and back for like more than 2 years now. At some point I thought it was related to a filled tooth and went to see two dentists at different times but both assured me it has nothing to do with the tooth though the pain seems to spread from there. I'm thinking it's nerve-related but I cannot test that. Doctors told they don't understand what it is I'm suffering from and prescribed pain killers and soothing ointment to rub over my body but of course it was a sham because it brought temporary relief. Most times it's bearable but sometimes the 'migraine' can become very awful and the pain then spreads to my leg.
I need some help because nobody could at least advise so far.

Thank You.

Make an appt. with a Neurologist and have him work you up.  This pain could also be coming from either your head or your neck, but without having an exam, we cannot say.  So call to make the appt.

In the meantime, when it's really bad, try laying down in a dark quiet room and rest and see if that helps.

You won't answer the question without MRI of the brain. It could be variety of reasons concerning lower part of the brain/base of the skull.
