Pain In Base Of Skull Behind Ear, Occurs While Bending Head Forward. Any Ideas?

I have sharp pain at the base of my skull behind the right ear. It occurs when I bend my head forward only in one spot. I have been told it could be a pinched nerve or arthritis. It only least a few seconds If it ever does not stop in a matter of seconds, I could not stand the pain. What do you think could be causing this? YYYY@YYYY

This could be due to the congestion and the underplaying cause could be sinusitis, try taking steam inhalation, drink lot of Luke worm water, try Acetaminophen + Ibuprofen it will come around soon bye

Hi, as you describe it could be the arthritis, pressure on the nerve, or sinusitis. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis and treatment.
Avoid having big pillow, and having weight on the head.
Thank you.
