A second opinion

by jlstrachota, Feb 20, 2009 02:40AM
I am sorry if I have posted this twice
I have  been having this sharp head pain for years and I don't know what it is.  Last one I had was Feb. 17 after 7pm and the pain was about a 9 on the pain scale if 10 is the worse pain ever.  The pain was in my right temple area of my head.  The next day I was very nausiated all day and felt like I was having little headaches.  I was told my my doc it was an irritated nerve but I have experianced a few more today that were not as bad.  first one was at 12:15 at a pain of 2, then at 12:20 pain of 1 and last one I have had tonight was a one also all on the right in the same area and this time is was more of a dull sharpness without any nausia.  I would really like some insight on this please if you can?

for each individual headache, how long does the pain usually last for?

Hi,

It is important to know if you have positive history of migraines. If yes then there is a possibility is these sharp severe headaches are ice pick headaches.

There are other possibilities also like neuralgias, sinusitis and allergies which need to be looked into.
I would suggest you to seek a second opinion on this.

Thanks
