It sounds like your symptoms are worsening. The neck and should pain seems to be pretty common amongst us, and several, including me, starting getting numbness affecting one side of my head and face.

The numbness call also be a sign of stroke, so don't take it lightly. When I first called my primary care doc last fall when this first happened to me (the numbness) she made to go to the ER immediately.
If it worsens at all or the headache worsens go to the ER.
I hope you can get into your doctor sooner! Good luck
Big hug on your achievement!!
