Do not try to get a diagnosis like this. You will have 101 opinions. Go to a doctor. It could be stones.
There was a time, doctors used to diagnose over phone. This require lot of answers like your age, height, weight, food habits other personal details etc., With out these details diagnosis is impossible.

Pain can be referred from places other than the head. This deals with headaches but the principle works for all kinds of pain.
I would see a chiropractor as well
Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

Oh sweetheart, im sorry to hear that your in such pain, i know the stress of not being able to find a solution to your problem can affect you even greater. My only suggestions would be for you to see a doctor as soon as possible. Have them do bloodwork to see if there are any abnormalities in your levels. Hope you get to feeling better my prayers are with you!!
