HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there was a lesion in the brain, it would have been visible on the CT unless you have subsequently had trauma after this imaging was done.
Pain in the back of the head and neck may be related to strain or inflammation in the muscles in this area.
You should continue to use the pain medication and muscle relaxant.
In addition any stress relieving or relaxing methods should also be employed.
I hope this helps
