This could be a type of occipital neuralgia if symptoms are more on one side of the neck&scalp or even behind the eye of that side. It's an irritability/inflammation of the occipital nerve or an impingement of the nerve by tight muscles as it exits from the base of the skull. The other possibility is very tight,inflamed muscles of the back of the neck. Try alternating cold&hot compresses,massage
