There is a lump that goes from a half inch to through out the neck and ct scans mri and xrays show normal what could this be?
I don't really understand what you mean by "a half inch to through out the neck", but depending on the exact location, it could be a number of things.
If it's on the side of your neck, either below your jaw or just behind your collar bone, it could be a swollen lymph node, which is typically a result of your body fighting off an infection. Typically my lymph nodes will swell up when I have a cough/cold, but they've even grown to Golf ball-size when I contracted cat scratch fever.
If its your Adam's apple that is swollen, then it could be a goiter, which is a swollen thyroid gland caused by an iodine deficiency.

Is it possible to have a sinus infection with horrible headaches that doesn't show up on CT scans and if so how could it be detected?
If the headaches are as horrible as you say, no. When the sinuses are infected they produce mucus which creates the pressure which creates the headaches. On xrays (or CTs) normal sinuses look dark gray or black, when there is an infection it is white. Very hard to mistake. Headaches have to be from something else. Keep looking.

Grid controlled X ray tube?
a grid is a device placed in front of the image receptor which only allows xrays to travel directly through from the tube and prevent xrays which have been "scattered" from passing through to the image. This gives a much clearer resulting image. Grids are generally only used on thicker body parts where scattered xrays are more of an issue
Must doctors have good vision?
It certainly is a huge factor since doctors have to read off Xrays and image scans and they have to accurately read off charts. If a doctor doesnt have good vision it certainly increases the chance of error
