Default Sudden, crushing pain in neck and base of skull

Greetings everyone. Some of you might remember from my other posts that I've had symptoms of TBI (mainly headaches and sensitivity to bumps) for several years. On the whole I've felt that I've been improving slightly over time. Not really enough to give me hope of full recovery, but improving nonetheless.

Alas, this trend has reversed of late. There's been one change in my symptoms in particular that has really done a job on me, and that I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced or knows something about.

This change manifests throughout most of the day as a feeling fullness in my neck and the base of my skull. Then, on into the evening, I get sudden, intense waves of pain and pressure radiating from the base of my skull; that is, radiating sometimes up into my head, sometimes down my spine. It is as though my neck is being momentarily crushed in a vice right where it meets my skull. These waves last for no more than a second and follow each other sporadically. Some nights there is only one, other nights I have one every few minutes over the course of several hours.

This new symptoms has gone together with a massive increase in sensitivity to small bumps, most of all jolts from my own footsteps.

This change has me quite puzzled, the more so because I didn't suffer any major new injury before it came on. I had been having a series of rough weeks on account of the usual small bumps, but I've never known those bumps to cause any lasting changes.

I'd welcome any thoughts any of you might have.

I hope you are all doing well.
