Question Truly Frustrated

I don't know if I am in the right spot or not...Just looking for some help or answers. I was in a car accident on 11/27/2009. I was sitting in the back sit behind the front passenger when we were T-boned at a high speed. The impact was so great that I hit my head of the window and bounced back and hit it again. Since then I am having constant headaches with numbness, pain and tingling on the right side of my face. I feel pain and pressure behind my right eye and ear. Last couple of days pain and tingleing is running down my right arm. Through out most days I will get a sharp pain that shoots through my head. I had a CT scan that showed an indeterminate to 2 to 3 mm oval are of increased density withing the fourth ventricle. They sent me for further evaluation with a contrast-enhanced MRI of my brain, which came back clear. I went to a neurologist which told me that the car accident triggered an ongoing miagraine. I had an area on the back of my head which felt like needles and pins...she put me on steroids which by the second day was gone. BUT.....I still have the numbness, pain, tingling and pressure in my face and ear. You can literally draw a line straight down my face and everything to the right is affected while everything on the left side is normal. The numbness feels like when you go to the dentist and they give you novacaine and the feeling you get right before it wears off is the best that I can describe....does anyone have any similar experience that can tell me where to go and what to do. I have another appt this weds with the neurologist. Thank you in advance for anything that you can tell me.
