What are the symptoms of neck pain at the back of the neck?

Question
Hello doctor, I am 24 years old this year, 2 weeks ago I had pain in my neck, now it hurts on the bone near the hollow of my head, I have a headache, is there any problem with my brain? The other day I went to the doctor for an X-ray, the doctor said my neck was fine, but now I feel pain in the back of the head, what is it? Doctor help me. I sincerely thank you!

Answer
Hello, X-rays only show the bones, but if you want to evaluate brain parenchyma and blood vessels, you need an MRI (cranial magnetic resonance). If you have such symptoms of neck pain, you need to see a neurologist for a full examination, good luck!
