I headbanged at a concert in April, and had a failed attempt to crack my neck in June that caused pain. Dizziness since April, increased after June.

April 10: headbanging at a rock concert (whiplash movement / light concussion?). Neck pain and stiffness lasted one week, dizziness never subsided completely.
June 3: tried to crack my neck (right side), but it didn't crack and sudden pain going from my right forehead all the way through the right side of my upper skull to the base of the skull, and pain in right side of the neck. So, the entire right side of my head and neck hurt. (see illustration)
Its been months of being dizzy all the time, and this one sided head/neck pain going on and off. Did a MRI of the brain and a x-ray of the neck, brain and neck are normal. I've been thinking that the first trauma created the dizziness and the second one increased it and created pain in the healing muscles from the first trauma.
Things I've already tried: benzos, carisoprodol, paracetamol/acetaminophen, NSAIDs, Benadryl, multivitamin, vitamin D3, and more things i don't remember. Alprazolam makes me less dizzy somehow but don't last long.
So based on all of this i think it its cervicogenic, from the neck / upper back muscles probably causing false information to the brain. I'm looking for advice.
