Sharp Shooting Pain In Neck, Left Side Face, Arm Numb With Tingling Sensation. Severe Migraine. Why?

I am experiencing electric sharp, jabbing,electric shooting pain on the left side of my neck and and then makes the left side of my face numb along with the left arm feeling somewhat numb with a tingling sensation. Last week i had to go home from work after a terrible bout of a severe migrain which shortly after getting it made me vomit. I thought of stroke or anurism, now i see something online called neuralgia. what could it be and do i need to be concerned. I have a doctors appointment for my physical this friday. what should i tell the doctor

HI,
The tingling /numbness in arms/shooting pain in neck are signs of cervical spondilitis compressing nerves.similarly if you don't have long standing migraine, compression on blood vessel may give rise to migraine like pain.
- Get X ray cervical spine P/A & lateral view done.
- Consult a Orthopedic doctor & get a treatment plan under his guidance..
- pain releivents along with specific physiotherapy & exercises for cervical spine will help you
Thanks.
