Suggest Remedies For Ear And Neck Pain Along With Headaches After Injury

I was in an auto accident, hit broadside. I ve had constant pain at side of my neck by my right ear as well as frequent headaches. My neck was xrayed and shows no breaks. Muscle relaxers and Naprosyn have had no effect. Do I need an MRI. I ve already had back surgery once in my life (L5,L4,L3,L2 and a spinal fluid leak. Recovery was not quick or easy and I m not looking forward to additional surgery. Your thoughts? Sorry, thought this was a free service. Need every cent to replace my vehicle that was totaled. Thank you for your time.
