I need help! Had a headache on top left of my head for 3 months.. Its sharp, stabbing and somewhat burning. I also have left ear fullness and popping. My left eye hurts and have some forehead pain. It get worse just on the top part of my head when sneezing or bending over.

I've had a CT, MRI and MRV all okay. I've been to a neurologist...twice and my GP 3 times. All say migraine. I also have some jaw popping but no real pain.

Last thing.I also have pressure in left temple...I am so scared. I have horrible anxiety...and its gotten worse since all of this started.

Please tell there's hope for this to go away, I am miserable. My work has suffered and my family life.

I have had the same thing for years. I found that the heat is comming from the nerves in the back of your head/neck being irritated. Do you have ANY degenerative disks in your neck or upper back? this can cause headaches. also if you take allergy meds you may need to change the brand, they made be too strong or not working.
I use a humidifier at night, no animals or dust in my bedroom, no purfumes in the laundry, regular alergy stuff you do. this has helped with the sinus inflamation that adds to the headaches. I also use a humidifier at night
*Try 2 extra strength tylenol and 3 to 4 ibuprophin at the same time(with food always). This always helps.
also have you spoken to your doctor about fibre mialga?
When I first would get these headaches for weeks and some times months, my husband kept telling me to go to a massage therapist.
i finally listened. I started with once a week, went to every two weeks then finaly once a month some times twice. Well worth the money. My headaches are almost completey gone.
