Brief Answer:
Could be migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. They are suggestive of migraine.

You would benefit from taking preventive medications such as flunarizine or topiramate. These would reduce the severity and frequency of headaches.

For relief of headache and back/shoulder pain, you can take ibuprofen or diclofenac tablets.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
