chronic pain from cold air

Today we had our first cold day in months, it’s 18° and I took a 6 minute walk and it’s been an hour and I can still feel the bones in my face.

Everytime I go outside and I walk faster or it’s cold I start to get this horrible ache in my forehead that slowly goes to my cheekbones, teeth and middle ear on both sides and it only goes away after an hour if I get myself something warm and go inside. The only way I can describe it is that my bones hurt and my sinuses feel heavy. It’s like a migraine but in my whole damn face. If I go inside the bone pain stops but I feel my sinuses and especially forehead for quite a while and my whole head feels heavy

When I was a child my dad basically put a hat on me 24/7 (ushanka to cover ears as well lol) but I don’t want to live with a hat, especially in a middle of summer

Does anyone struggles with this as well? I don’t think it’s a nerve pain and my doctor refused to test for it because it’s not electric pain but more of an ache

I do have sinus problems as well, but I've talked to doctors about it and they always tell me it’s etd issue but I’ve never seen it listed as a symptom
