See your PCP: If the eyes are not the cause of the pain, i'd recommend you see your family doctor/primary care provider. Lots of other things can give similar symptoms. You might ask her if seeing an ENT (ear nose and throat) doctor or neurologist is warranted.

Workup: You're young for temporal arteritis but it's a consideration even at your age if the spots are really tender. A full history and physical exam, including a refraction (until i was given the glasses i needed, i had bad daily headaches) is in order. Good luck.
