Need Evaluation: You really need proper evaluation at this time by a specialist who can assess for structural issues. This may be a musculo-skeletal issue or may have a basis from your spine and the facet joints. The pain radiating up the back of your head can be occipital neuralgia which can be caused by nerve impingement at the spine or the base of your skull. It can be treated in a variety of ways.
