Okay, anytime we see a systolic pressure raised well above the diastolic, the cause is virtually always due to stress factors. While the pressure is greater than we'd like to see, it is not of the range that is going to put you at imminent risk of a stroke or heart attack.
Additionally, the pain you are experiencing is musculo-skeletal in origin and blood pressure is not typically associated with pain. While vascular type headaches can cause pain, hypertension does not.
I'd take a deep breath and relax. This is stress hypertension and all you need to do is calm down, take your prescription have your pressure monitored periodically.
Also, if you are taking your own pressure, realize that blood pressure is extremely dynamic in nature and not something that remains the same throughout the day. In order to obtain accurate readings, you must choose a specific time wherein you can remain still and relaxed for about 20 minutes before attempting to take a reading. Each time you check your pressure, you must use this same time and if you attempt to check it repeatedly, it will invariably increase if the readings cause you any stress.
Again, you're not in any danger at this point, so remain calm.
Best regards and Good Health
