Pain in that area is actually relatively common. Tasks in the modern industrial world often call for the head to tilt forward to perform: driving, computer work, preparing food. Over time the weight of the head--which averages about 12 to 15 pounds--in combination with excessive use and tightening of muscles in the front of the neck and across the chest will cause the muscles at the base of the skull to toughen and form "knots" as a response to the tension that is created by the structural imbalance.
Practicing proper posture and stretching the muscles in the chest and front of the neck helps to prevent head drop and pain at the base of the skull. Massage therapy often helps to alleviate pain and revitalize the muscle tissue if pain persists.
