What Causes Pain In Neck And Behind Ear?

I have been to a million doctors. Pain started in my neck and is now in my sinus canals, behind my ears and in my neck. Went through a period when I was fatigued as well. Just go through episodes about once or twice a day. Face gets really hot and the pain is intense. What is wrong?
