Default PCS VS Neck? --- both?

Just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone has experiences with this. My wife, parents and myself have been discussing my situation, incident and symptoms.

Is it possible that I had a mild form of PCS and what is remaining is a neck injury causing some similar issues?

The reason I ask is that my first blow to the head was on the top left side of my head while it was tilted on an angle. I was moving forward as the object came strait down, could it of caused an issue/compressed disk in my neck?

I noticed my symptoms seem to mostly come with neck pain and go away when focussing on my neck. I get pain and cracking in my upper right neck area, jaw cracks and then the locations of tension are around my sinus cavity, temples and back of the head. The headaches I get at this point seem to be on the exterior of my head if that makes sense? My left ear pops/cracks now which I can't explain.....I just hear a snap a few times a day which I never had before.

I feel like I get quite a bit of eye strain and my optometrist had said I must of taken quite a blow as a portion of my vision was drastically affected which he explained that visual system went into the neck.....? Today was a pretty crappy day for me but something hot on my neck alternating with some cold on those sensitive areas seems to help.

My previous headaches felt like internal pressure in the head, balance, concentration and thought were affected.

Just wondering if anyone had some suggestions that may help me determine if it is a neck injury and if so some suggested treatments. Unfortunately, in the north it can take a long time before I can see specialists of any kind.

Drifting, baultista and Mark thanks for your info and comments....
