Pain in neck/back of head, info needed please.

General
So back in late January this happened:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9417582/
As spoken of in the journal this caused some nerve pain in my arm which seemed to drift around.
Some time Mid April, 15th-25th I had a spot on the back of my head that began to hurt, possibly nerve pain I am unsure. This pain spot drifted from just between the center of my head where the spine connects to the skull and behind my LEFT ear.
Back in May 9th I had a new spot on the back of my head that began to hurt This pain spot drifted from just between the center of my head where the spine connects to the skull and behind my RIGHT ear. (Yes it switched sides AND the left pain faded) This pain then also drifted to the top right of my head and made my ear hurt as well.
May 25th I was able to return to work and while working I stumbled and sprained my LEFT wrist. My wrist is mostly better now but I am giving all these details.
June 12th the pain in my neck/head caused me to have an intense headache twice during the day, then on June 13th 1:00 AM I am woken up with the worst headache/neck pain. It was intense enough to bring me to tears, literally felt like a 10/10 pain for me.
June 20th-today the center of the back of my head where the spine and skull meet begins to hurt, and occasionally makes me feel slightly nauseous and slightly lightheaded or wobbly. This head/neck pain is also accompanied by a pain starting between the center of my head where the spine connects to the skull and behind my LEFT ear, (yes it changed sides and the right pain faded) and it goes down my neck and towards LEFT collar bone and ends just below it. This pain is a combined stinging and burning pain, sometimes the burning is intense enough that my skin turns red temporarily.
I am wondering if this is just lingering nerve pain? Something else? It is worth mentioning NOTHING has been as bad as June 12th thankfully, but it's still a VERY annoying pain. More over since it is neck related I am unsure if doing things that involve a lot of looking down or neck movement may or may not trigger more pain/complications. As always it's not a fear of doctors, it's more a case of what if all the doctor says is cold packs and pain pills. That becomes a waste of time and money.
So if anyone has any info please let me know. This isn't a journal to get pity, it's a journal to ask for some help/info. =/

I understand your fears on misdiagnosis. Its a very common fear associated with the medical field. But if this gets any worse, I would HIGHLY recommend seeing a doctor.
Try soothing the pained areas with ice or heat, see if it helps at all. If it worsens, see a doctor
Go see a doctor, these problems sound serious.
