Just a Headache?!

I'm 44. I have not been diagnosed with MS but, my symptoms as of late have me wondering and confused. I was diagnosed with costochondritis in May 2018. Painful and scary condition. Further, on July 30 2018, I woke up, stood up and felt a discomfort in the back of my neck. That week I developed continuous headaches that still continue. Over seven months of headaches everyday at various intensities. From the beginning of the headaches I have felt pins and needles just below my testicles. It comes in waves various times a day. The headaches feel like continuous tension. The headaches also have had migraine symptoms. I have visual disturbances that create confusion, gait unsteadiness, difficulty concentrating. My face at times has felt stiff. I have lately felt cold and shivering for no apparent reason. What could this be???
