My nape piercing

Im a little worried. The piercing I have in the nape of my neck has been sore the past 2 days. It hurts to turn my head and just a couple of minutes ago Ive started having head splitting pains stemming from my neck to the back of my skull! AHH it really hurts. I soaked it last night for like 20 minutes with double sea salt, it felt better this morning but now sitting at my desk all day, its starting to hurt again.
I dont want to have to retire my piercing, Ive only had it for 7 months! I will never take it out....NEVER!!
So, if I dont post in a few days, you'll know why, Ill be slumped at my desk, face first in my fruit salad.
