It's not uncommon to experience scalp tenderness with migraines. Has the pain been mostly on one side of your head? Are you sensitive to light or sound? Have you felt nauseated? If so for any of these, you may be experiencing a migraine. If not, it might be a tension headache or something similar.
Bear in mind that lots of people think that in order for a headache to be a migraine, the pain has to be excruciating. That's actually not true, though. Migraines, like any headaches, can be mild, moderate, or severe in intensity.
Talk to your doctor if the problem persists. With any new onset headaches, a CT scan is always a good idea.
Hope you feel better soon.

It's most likely a tension headache or sinus headache. With a sore scalp, this is also a sign of stress and anxiety.
Don't worry because it's not that serious.

Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have the tender spots you noticed. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Maybe you've hit your head and can't remember it. Maybe it was at night. If it continues to hurt then I think you should probably see a doctor about it because that isn't something to take lightly. You will want to make sure everything's ok. I wouldn't want to guess an answer on here.
