Pain at base of skull left side sometimes goes into my head did a mri 2months ago said no tumors what could cause this pain?

Occipital pain: An occipital neuralgia could be the source of your pain. The sternocledomastoid, splenius capitus, and levator scapulae muscles all insert in that general area. If the MRI is normal consider an extracranial source of your pain.

Many things: Tension headache, vasculitis, and even a disc protrusion in the cervical spine could all cause your symptoms. Your doctor should be able to help work this out.
