What Causes Pain Radiating From Head To Eyes?

I have pain that seems to come from my brain stem area that radiates throughout my head, and ending above my eye's. I have had possible exposure to lyme's vectors, but never had a cdc certified diagnosis, but took a 30 day doxycycline 6 months ago. My wife does a deep tissue massage, and there is a lot of pulsing in the most painful areas of my scalp, and not for sure, but she believes there may be some swelling near the base of the neck projecting to the right side. The pain does vary, but 1-10 can reach near the 10 end of the spectrum.
