Question 1

what does it mean if i have a headache on left side of my head that spreads down neck, shoulder, and arm?

Nerve and/or muscle: A squeezed nerve exiting the spinal cord in your neck may be the cause of all the pain.  If so, there may be associated loss of sensation, tingling, weakness and when severe, shrunken muscles. Another common cause of your symptoms is muscle generated pain.
