I had pain in my neck right below my skull, and found out the hard way that it was a tumour blocking my spinal fluid from being able to get out. So please go in and ask them to give you a Cat scan as this will show them what the problem is. Guessing is for the birds.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If the headache is due to pain inhalation then it will go away on it own once you inhale fresh air. However sometimes it can cause lasting effect. Neck pain ideally should not be due to paints. It can be due to muscle spasm, pinched spinal nerves or due to vertebrae getting displaced or maybe due to some ligament damage. Please consult a doctor and get this evaluated.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!

neck injury can cause headaches, I injured my neck and have had migraines for years. see your gp, and ask them to check your neck out :)
