My concern about neck traction is the possibility the cause is compression of the left vertebral artery, which could seriously make things worse. Since the left neck pain started simultaneously with the left pulsatile tinnitus, I'm hoping for a second opinion on my CTA/V of the neck.

Hi, was wondering how you're getting on? I've left sided neck and shoulder pain which started after lying in awkward position plus pulsatile tinnitus which started at same time, it's really getting me down.
I've read online (dreadful I know!) that neck strain and pulled neck muscles can cause pulsatile tinnitus and hoping once the strained muscles ease the tinnitus will go too.
Going to contact Dr tomorrow as had a week now and should get checked out.
