Sharp Pain in Head

My grandmother is having sharp shooting pains in the back of her head for about 5 days. She went to the emergency room and an MRI was done, but it came back clear. They prescribed her pain medication, and its causing her to fall asleep, but the pain is still there. What could it be?

I am an athletic 15 year old male. I have been experiencing not that painful jabbing pains that last for 2-3 seconds in the same spot, which is above my left ear. I get this 10 -20 times about day for about 1or 2 days, then i wont have it for 3 weeks or or 4, but then i get them again. Also i have been getting deja vu once or twice a week. Also i have had some short term memory problems like i forget what is just recently did, but then 10 seconds later i remember it. My mom had a cyst on her neck. I have checked on the internet and i have some symptoms like the temporal lobe brain tumor. I am wondering if i have a a brain tumor. I am very very scared. could please tell me if i should be worried or not. Could you please gve me some feedback and some previous experiences. Thankyou.
