I did follow up with my GP on this. The condition is called occipital neuralgia. Basically its nerve pain, and its not uncommon. The causes vary but she thinks if it was caused by the trauma from the rads it would have surfaced earlier than this. Treatment is a nerve blocking med and physio.

So nothing too sinister we'll just chalk this one up to growing old.
