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.

yeah, past two days sharp stabbing, jolting pain right hand side at the back of my head, ear and jaw. i'm very concerned about this pain as have a job interview in two days and don't want it to kick in while in the interview? also i've been having severe shooting pain in both feet for about three years now have seen various dr's and foot specialists but all to no avail, maybe a thing called periphial neuropathy but no definite diagnosis? this pain keeps me awake most nights and is affecting my daily life very bad, but as for this head pain i'm just at a loss it just comes about every ten seconds or so?

Started having a dull pain over my right eye and right side of head.  Not a sharp pain, but dull.  Last for about 4 seconds and disapates.  Come back in about 3 minutes.  Seems to occur with any quick movement or exertion like getting off the couch or bending down and then up.  Been 36 hours.  Took aleve first,  then advil,  then later on Excedrin.   No effects.  JulianB.

It's been 2 months now and i have had nothing but sharp shooting pains in different parts of my head, sometimes i get dizziness and nausea feeling, but not continuously, just throughout the day for a couple of seconds at a time.... When these sharp pains occur, i also get a headache feeling, than i have to try to relax my head to relieve it a bit...My right eye also twitches all day everyday too.... been to the doctot several times... He is getting tired of me..Next i will take a mri scan, since this is just on going, even when i try to sleep...I have been trying to sit up straight and not move my head to see if that works.... helps a little bit.... also i have been taking viatamin D and it has helped quite a bit too D 2000 ius..... Still is not gone but this does help.. Angie

I suffer from migraines from a car accident. A week ago I drove a motorcycle at 4 AM without a helmet in real cold weather. I was freezing for 45 minute ride. The next morning I had extremely severe stabbing headaches all over the right side of my head, and deep in my neck muscles and in my right ear. My PA. gave me a muscle relaxer, hydrocodone and an anti-biotic. I still have such severe pain the hydocodone barely helps releive any pain. My PA said I can't get sick from just cold, I need to have an infection first. I also noticed last winter I'd go sit in the steam room at the gym then go sit out by the pool. And with the cold air from the fans blowing on my head I have those same shooting pains in the back of my head, but this time it's so severe I can't function in life. Has anyone else had this same situation of cold air blowing on your head after being hot then having stabbing/ shooting pain the next day that lasts weeks or months?
Thanks,
Rick
