Possibly TMJ or headache, of course see your doctor if it doesn't respond to aspirin or Motrin.

Same principle
#1 drink about 1/2 gallon of water per day - the head of neurorology at UCDavis (about 10 years ago) likened a car low on oil to a body low on water (engine siezing up).
#2 Daily muscle relaxer (1 or 2 swigs of molasses or 1 or 2 bananas) they contain magnesium and potassium.
#3 Massage therapy - professional or read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies (it teaches you how). The principle that causes the headaches regardless of how severe is that muscles get knots (trigger points), which make the muscles stay tight, which press on nerves.
Your back, shoulders, neck and everywhere on your head will definitely play into the cause and it will take a while to get all the trigger points to go away.

Sounds like back tension where the muscles are connected to the scalp. The ligaments joining the head become tense and/or inflamed. I had the same problem and took, on doctor's advice, muscle and back relaxant/pain killers.
