Hello.
It is difficult to categorize your symptoms. The "back of the head" pain can be due to any stretching of the neck, where the nerves are stretched and injured. But pain in the other areas is not explained.
This could be a vitamin deficiency. Please consult your physician and get your routine blood work done. Also look for vitamin deficiencies.
