Musculoskeletal : Sounds like you've strained your neck muscles causing trigger point pains in your shoulder and at the base of your skull. These knotted muscle spasms put pressure on your occipital nerves causing lateral sided headaches. Treat with Ibuprofen or Naproxen first. If no relief, see a chiropractor for only a couple visits. If still no relief, find a family doctor who TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS.
