Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Ask your doctor to rule out temporal arteritis as a possible cause. In temporal arteritis the pain occurs above the ear (in the temples) and can radiate to the rest of the head.
Aleve (naproxen) 500 mg one or two tablets together as required, may help in relieving the pain. Since the scan is negative you need not worry.
