Sharp, intermittent head pain

[maddys]

I've am experiencing sharp pain on the top of my head.  The pain is intermittent and feels like a one or two second sharp strike -- and always in the same spot.  It hurts to touch my hair in that area due to tenderness and I flinch when it "strikes." .  Usually lasts a couple of days.  Then it will recur perhaps 3 to 6 months from now.  Next time it occurs it will be in another location,but seems to always be at or near the top of my head.  Sometimes I also feel the pain radiate from my ear (left ear this time) to the top of my head to the same spot -- as though there is one little nerve that is throbing.   Please advise.

I have been having worm like feelings under my scalp and the along with that a quick stabbing pain that feels someone hit me with a hammer but only in a small area,  and then moves to another area,  then my head is so tender in that spot I cannot even touch it. My worm like feelings are also painful and this happens at the top of my head almost daily. I am constantly rubbing my head or running my hands through my hair to help elevate the worm like pain. Help

yes did you ever find out what this is.. I need an answer as well over 20 years and they are getting much worse and more frequent with time

otc never help these.. they can come and go as fast or slow as the onset. most often the pain is very localized and not widespread other times very widespread and still as painful. hair movement is not recommended and makes severe pain. do not allow anything to touch hair on head or head for that matter. as it calms down you can lightly touch  i would describe it sometimes as if someone beat me over my head with a 2 x 4 it can be as small as a 2 inch area or as large as the entire crown  it can be as short as a 30 minute period of time most often it lasts for hours on hours and sometimes for days on end, i need someone to isolate this I am so afraid to mention it to one more doctor unless I have some idea as to how to approach it or something to suggest they look into  sometimes i think my head is about to explode..they are not migraines to my knowledge at least not any migraine I have had in the past or what i know them to be like which do respond to migraine medications

I also suffer for many years from this very tender pain in my head, nothing like anyone else's head pains I have mentioned it to a number of physicians and they give me a strange look and nothing ever goes any further. More recently they have become fairly regular and more persistent and I am beginning to hate living they used to only occur once or twice a month now i am lucky I get past a week without one and this week alone I have had 4 and they are getting much more intense and the area is larger most of the top of my head is so sensitive I can hardly move it without the pain sheering threw I stopped mentioning this issue to MD's as no one seems to have ever heard of this problem before, I have so many other issues with my health I almost wonder what is the point of even bothering finding out most likely one will end me soon enough but chances are if I do live another 5 or 10 years with them getting worse and more frequent I will never be able to survive this type of pain. anyone with a confirmed diagnosis please reply thank you
