What Does Pain Above The Left Ear Indicate?

I am having pulling pain sensation in my head especially above the left side of my ear. then at the back of my head. sometimes it feels like it is pulling from the top of my head downward to the back of my head. IIt happens when I am doing computer, when i get tired or watching tv , sometimes long driving when I am sitting still and concentrating. I wonder if it has something to do with my neck since I have mild cervical spondylosis as the result of my Xray. I am taking pain medication lots of neck stretches and neck exercises, deep breathing and meditation to relax but it still happens. as a result of that pulling pain sometimes I would get eye strain. What could it be?
