You broke your neck and the muscles remain tight to continue to cause the headaches. The dr.'s don't look at tight muscles as your problem so you can go on with the pain. To get rid of the pain you have to free up your neck muscles and here's how to do that, which you will have to do a few times for maximum results:
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 two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
With your neck in the lowered position, replace your thumbs in under the ears and your fingers behind your head but right next to your skull this time. Press your fingers and thumbs together again and hold. Relax your body while waiting. When the muscles have all released, slowly lift your head until it’s level again, release the pressure but hold your head like that for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

try some prednisone , your doctor can prescribe them , it's a steroid based antinflamatory you take for a week
See a GOOD osteopath.
Meanwhile, consider other causes - dehydration, hyperventillation, nutritional deficiencies, stress, working posture (eg laptop, desk, eye strain), sinuses, dental problems, ear problems etc etc. Despite the prior injury, these other factors may be 10% of the problem - or 90% of the problem.
In the short term, peppermint tea sometimes helps. I have seen it lift big ugly men out of severe hangovers before, sometimes it works when nurofen has failed - and it doesn't have the risks.
Meantime, you should consider getting an up-to-date medical assessment anyway - a friend of mine had 2 weeks of stress-induced headaches, when he finally got checked he had had a mild brain haemorrhage - the result of 2 weeks of ibuprofen.
