Angry is this TOS or Sinus Infection? Please help

Hello, My name is Evercool, i'm 22 and i have cervical ribs. On my right side i had it removed but it still on my left.

starting a few weeks ago i started seeing weird things in my vision. like flashes of white lights (i have glaucoma so that normal) but then my vision on my left side started to get blurry so i started to get concerned. a few days ago, i went a doctor because i was having ear pains and because of my left side blurriness. they said i had a ear infection and gave me pills.

but now my symptoms are strange.

i have this throbbing pressure around the center of my face that make me feel like my head is about to explode.
i have popping sound are over my head
my vision is blurry.
my left shoulder is badly swollen.
my left face side is blurry.
burning sensation in brain
sometimes it hard for me to focus.

now i understand tos doesn't deal with some of my problems but this can't possible be a sinus infection because i had an ear infection. my siblings keeps telling me its a sinus infection but i really can't accept that. if this a sinus infection then i can honestly say it worse than any pain i ever had to deal with TOS and crushed nerves.

I've had an ear & sinus infection and it was hard to get cleared up with only a single rx of antibiotics..
i had to go back for a inhalation/steam treatment in drs office something like an asthma tx I think.. as well as a week of steroid rx.

But I didn't have symptoms of what you list at all..
Mainly it felt like my sinuses were stuffed with cotton and dry feeling.
Sharp ear pains at times too.

Since most of your sx are on the left, I'm thinking that c rib might be much of the problem...
