Since about two years ago I've noticed a pain in my scalp. It's on the top and to the left, (occasionally and rarely the pain travels around to other areas, but not for long). Sometimes it travels to my temples, as well. It's a sharp pain and I often can find a spot on my scalp that when pushed down on will increase the pain. The pain usually comes in quick sharp jabs that last 5 or 10 seconds then go away completely. Sometimes I will get these regularly all day, other times I wont experience the pain at all. And sometimes the pain goes away for months, only to come back again unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. I saw a doctor once about it two years ago, he took a CT scan and said everything was ok. But to be honest it was really late in the ER, and he was in a big hurry to ship me off to the mental health hospital. So I feel like there may be a possibility he over looked something. Because the pain, while it lasts is about a 9 on that little pain scale they give you. And if it's been going on for two years, it has to be something.. I can't convince myself to pass this off as a headache anymore. I would really like to immediately rule out anything crazy like a brain tumor or cancer, I was hoping that could be done here, and it would basically come down to a pinched nerve or something of that sort. Another thing I will mention - I occasionally see spots of light in my vision.
Thanks
