my new symptom, stabbing eybrow pain

I feel a bit silly going to my doctor about this, especially since I'm not diagnosed and keep having so many negative tests,  but it's quite annoying.  

When I  touch my eyebrow, I get a stabbing jolt / pain in my eyebrow / eye.  I've had this off and all all summer. It's almost the same horrible pain as a brain freeze from eating ice cream too fast only that is my entire forehead, and this is just my right eye.  It lasts less then a minute, then goes away, but it can happen over and over and last for several days goes away, then come back days later.  My eye waters to if I touch my eyebrow and make the pain come.

I'm currently waiting for a spinal MRI, and follow up with MS clinic after that.  Have had negative brain MRI, and  normal VEP tests too.  

thanks

Sounds like a form of trigeminal neuralgia to me.  I would mention it to the doctor, at least.
