I've been having a horrible pain on my right lower back of my head. it feels like a lump/knot.?

Go to the doctor: Get it checked out. A lump could be an infection which need to be drained and treated with antibiotics, or a tumor which should be evaluated with ct or MRI or just a reactive lymph node, but that is unlikely to cause a headache.
