You need to go to the doctor. What you are describing could also be a stroke

I've had MANY MIGRAINES and never had one where I went 'numb in one arm and it moved ...' and you really need to see a DOCTOR about your migraines. Tell him your 'symptoms' and if he doesn't think it's bad enough to be 'concerned' then go to another DOCTOR ... and 'keep going' until you have talked to at least five of them (that's called 'getting a consultant's opinion') ... because you could be just 'hypochondriac' but you could also have something 'very wrong with you' that the 'migraines' makes 'worse' ... because migraines don't have a 'numbing' effect on ANY part of a person's body.

Usually a prescription med is required for a severe migraine unfortunately. Find a quiet and dark place to rest. You might try the excedrin migraine, but it never touched my headaches. Some people have adverse reaction to the caffeine, even though it is known to open the blood vessels in the neck that allow the blood to flow freely, releasing tension. Hopefully it will work for you. If not, be sure to see a doctor and best of luck.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

I have migraines all the time, but if your having migraines that are affecting your extremities, you need to see a neurologist. If you are a female and the pain in your arm is the left then it sounds like you need to see a cardiologist. Most heart disease and heart attacks in women are caught by signs of pain in jaw, neck, and head area with somtimes pain in left arm. I hope this helps somewhat. What ever you decide, it sounds like you need to see your doctor.

Whilst realising severe Migraine can cause symptoms such as yours,your symptoms can also be suggestive of a more serious condition.Its better to get yourself checked over to be sure it IS a Migraine?
If you suffer with Migraine and over the counter medicines do not work for you,you need to see your Doctor for stronger medication. Analgesics reduce the perception of pain by raising the pain threshold. They do not alter the cause of the pain, but simply mask the feeling of pain. Simple analgesics, such as aspirin or paracetamol (acetaminophen), can be effective in patients with mild-to-moderate and infrequent migraines. These agents are thought to be most effective when taken early in the onset of migraine. Overuse of these analgesics may lead to rebound headache.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, are also often prescribed for the acute treatment of mild-to-moderate migraine attacks.
When simple analgesics or NSAIDs fail to provide relief, your doctor may choose to prescribe certain combination products. Caffeine and codeine, for example, are often combined with simple analgesics and/or NSAIDs.
You could try taking painkillers, laying in a darkened room with a cold cloth across your forehead.Drink plenty of fluids. Hope you feel better soon.

You may want to schedule a visit with your doctor to have this checked out. He/she may order an EEG to see what is going on with some other tests. Your symptoms sound unusual to me an definitely warrant a visit ASAP to the MD.
