<s>[INST] generalised pain in head but sever in base of skull and neck. cannot support the head in a manner that eases the pain. moving the head even gently causing more intense pain. applying pressure to back of neck where i believe muscles are not affecting the pain, pain feels deeper and more central, as in not on the surface [/INST] Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor. Sir/Madam, From the information that you have provided is a little difficult to come to a diagnosis, because I would like to know if the pain you are experiencing is associated with any nausea, if this pain increases on exposure to sound or light. This would suggest a possibility of migraine. But right now I would suggest that you get your eyes checked and also get a radiograph of your neck so that we can rule out the possibility of any spondylitis. You can try sleeping without a pillow at night in order to ease your pain, and also do some hot compression. I hope this information was helpful. Do get back to me for further queries. Regards, Chat Doctor.  </s>
