severe headache

I have two questions:
1. I have really bad headaches usually on the left side of my head and they are not migranes. They usually last 5-10 mins and feel as if though someone is squishing my brain. Can you tell me what it is?
2. I have muscle spasms in cold climates. At first I thought it was rhumetoid artheritis but I read the symptoms and it is completely different. My muscles freize or move and then frieze if a make a sudden motion in cold climates. Is this neurological?

I feel pain behind the eyes sometimes but not always and my ears hurt sometimes.
there is no nausea.
i do not know what causes the pain it just happens. I usually get a lot of rest and i eat healthy.
I do not take any medication, it usually goes away on its own.
I did hit my head on pipe when i was younger and it started bleeding pretty bad. I didnt seek medical attention for it because i was in a "third world country" and didnt have any money.
the pain starts on the back of my head and shoots down the back of my neck. My forehead hurts as well when this happens, right above the eyes.

Hi,

The information provided by you is not sufficient enough to comment. Please provide following information:

Do you also feel pain behind the eyes? on face?
Is there a feeling of nausea?
Is there any trigger for your pain?
Does it resolve on it's own or you have to take medication?
Do you have any history of head trauma?

Regarding your second question:
Exposure to cold can decrease blood flow to muscles, resulting in cramping and muscle spasms. It does not look like being neurological. Take precaution in cold weather. Keep your self warm.
