There is more than one answer to this question. Stroke and brain tumor are at the top of the list. Any facial numbness that accompanies a headache...even if headache intensity gets better...should be evaluated by imaging. If it is a stroke, acting (getting to an ER) within the first 24 hours could reverse the damage.

Several things could contribute to this. If the roots were fused to the jaw bone facial pain can last for quite some time.

Is having a moveable lump on lower neck causing numbness in upper right side of back?

A moveable lump on the lower neck causing numbness in the upper right side of the back could potentially be due to a variety of reasons. One possibility could be a swollen lymph node or a cyst in the neck region, which may be pressing on nerves leading to the sensation of numbness in the back. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, as this symptom combination could also be indicative of more serious conditions such as nerve impingement or referred pain from internal organs. Additional diagnostic tests such as imaging studies or a physical examination may be necessary to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

Could a hole in the tooth on the right side cause severe headaches on that side?

Depends on the size of the hole and which tooth. If it is an upper molar, the roots could be within the sinus cavity. And when there is sinus pressure present, it could cause headaches on the same side. Also, if the hole on the tooth is large enough, air, hot and cold stimuli and food could set the nerve off, triggering a headache. You should see your dentist for futher x-rays and examination.
