Since you are suffering from:
a) the worst headaches of your life
b) which you wake up with, and
c) accompanied by nausea and vomiting,
d) neck pain and
e) not responding to regular painkillers, you need to undergo a CT / MRI Brain Scan, blood tests, an eye check up (fundoscopy), a specialist's opinion and may be a lumbar puncture.
Do you also have neck stiffness along with the neck pain? Is there any history of fever, visual problems? Is your vomiting projectile?
Only your examination and investigations can link your traumatic head injury to this condition. As you have these symptoms for a month now without relief, you must seek medical help as soon as possible.
