Migraines uncontrolled over a long period of time can cause neurological damage. If you suffer from migraines that are debilitating or incapacitating, on average of once or more times per week, then you should consider prophylactic ( preventative ) therapy. Migraines throughout childhood into young and nature to middle-aged adults often lead to multiple microinfarcts to the brain. This in turn can lead to significant cognitive impairment later on. On ni so rare occasions in younger people, it can cause clinically significant Transient Ischemic Attacks ( TIA's ) or Strokes with residual sequelae. So to simplify the answer to your question: The answer is a resounding YES.

I am not sure if you meant car accident or attacked. It could be a whiplash injury or nerve damage due to trauma. Regardless this is not normal and needs to be further evaluated. I would call your primary or a neurologist to get you in and do further testing (nerve studies and or more site-specific MRI or CT scan studies). You might need further treatment depending on what is found. For the time being, I suggest refraining from major strenuous physical activity pertaining to your upper extremities.
