Pain on the head

[Zobe]

I have a spot on my head that has been recently having what feels like sharp shooting pains.  They pain only last about 5-10 seconds, but it comes and goes as it pleases.  I haven't hit my head to cause this and it's not in a spot where I normally get headaches; it's close to the top right side of my head.  I was wondering what it might be.  I have tried taking IB Profen but that has not helped.  Any suggestions on what to do about it and what it may be?

I have had pains like that, the doctor thinks it is caused by migraine, but not a full-blown one.

i had an accident back in february where something fell on the top of the back of my head and caused bruises to form. my head was sore for a while, but I figured the soreness would go away after time. well, the tenderness is still there. it still feels bruised to the touch. the part that worries me, is that lately i have started getting headaches, i feel nauseous and lightheaded sometimes, and i have really tight spots on my shoulders that stay tight and sore to the touch. i went to the chiropractor, but i really don't know what to do next.
