Head shakes, headache in back of back of head, and pressure behind eyes?
It's like I get a shiver in my head, and it shakes for less than a second. I get a real bad headache that starts in the back of the head, and will eventually make my entire head hurt. I've got constant pressure behind my eyes, making it hard to look right from left with tons of visual disturbances. I've had this for almost a year now. I've got a spinal tap done yesterday, and due for an MRI tomorrow. What could this be?

1. You have tight neck muscles causing the pains for you. The neck muscles go to the top of your head where they connect to muscles going around your head. When the neck muscles get tight they pull the head muscles into pain and that's the headache. The back of your head pains were right off the neck muscles tightening up. The nerves for your eyes go to the back of your head passing next to the neck muscles. When the neck muscles are tight they can press into the nerves to cause pains on the back of your eyes where the nerve is attached. Freeing up your neck muscles will get rid of these problems for you and here's how to free them up:
Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about one minute, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
