Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern and the anguish that you are having.

I think that you have a neck injury. A neck injury is a soft tissue injury which is acting as a trigger factor for the headache. You should try to treat the neck pain which will help you. Here are a few basic things that you can try for the neck pain:
Ice the neck pain for 15 mins at a time every hour
Massage the area to reduce the swelling
Apply Brufen Cream to help with the swelling
Take Ibuprofen 400 2 times a day for 3 days

Follow up after 3 days. All the best.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to clarify further.
