Do any of you have pain that shoots from the side of your head and ends in your neck. when i'm having an attack the burning radiates down my neck and feels like a knot in my neck?

Yes.
 
If you have a lump that forms as well (could be just to the left or right of your cervical vertebrae or at the base of your skull) it's a pretty common thing--a swollen nerve ganglion, along with the surrounding tissue.  We call it a "cluster lump".
 
Applying ice wrapped in a sopping wet cloth to that area may reduce pain during an attack.
 
Best wishes,

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Thats the parasympathetic nerve pathway, the one that gets firey during an attack.
 
Applying wet ice there helps a lot with the pain.
 
Painfree wishes to you.

OMG! I thought I was the only one that had that.  I swear I could reach in and rip out that ball.  It's right under the oxput bone where the base of the scull mets the neck.  Only on my left side.  I'm think of asking them to do Botox there.  I've also had nerve blocks in that area also.
