This headache and head pain may be coming from a dysfunction in your neck.

Do you get any neck pain at all? You may consider consulting with a chiropractor to get your vertebrae and nervous system working properly. Good luck.

It could also be a migraine or tension headache. Have you seen a neurologist? See if you can find one that specializes in headaches.

Does light or noise bother you when you get the pain?

Did the doctors give you any pain mediation? Have you tried pain pills you can buy over-the-counter without a prescription? I know the pain is probably too bad for those to work very well, but it may take the edge off enough for you to stand it. Also, ice helps some people, too. You could also try acupuncture--people say it works well for headaches.
