The pain symptoms are similar to stylohyoid/ carotid artery syndrome with pain on the left side of the head, ears, neck, sinuses, and mastoids. There is also swelling on the left side of the neck and face as well as the left eye swelling shut. Tilting or turning the head to the right reduces the symptoms. The pain feels like a bad bruise or as if the area is asleep (pins and needles).
Most of the problem is on the left, but occaisionally on the right. Excessive talking and excessive head and neck movement cause the symptoms to get much worse. as the language function ( Broca's and Wernicke's areas) is situated on the left cerebral hemisphere.
Other poss causes are : TMJ ;. lesion anterior
to the carotid, level with the lower teeth in the jaw, and in the region of the sympathetic nerve plexus.
One alternative possibility comes to mind, Look into the possibility that you might have cervical dystonia. Dystonia involves abnormal muscle contraction, so it can be painful and also appear to have a mass. Most commonly, people report jerking movements of their head or tonic abnormal position (head turned to one side, etc).
You should request a doppler -flow studies from your doctor
to be performed to determine if less blood is moving through the left side of your head and neck than the right. to evaluate for tumors, lesions. and involved lymph nodes.

All i know is - the left side of your brain controls your right side of your body.

If it is accompanied with vomiting or you feel before headache that you are going to have it, along with visions of coloured lights, it could be migraine. But anyway, it needs to be investigated, like MRI scan of the skull etc..
Good luck!
