Hi
Over the past week or so, i have had pains at the bottom of my head/top of neck. They feel sharp/twichy and throbing..I dunno what they could be..Its worrying me. Any ideas? They come and go xxxxx

Okay I feel a little better that Im not the only one with this same stabbing undiscribable pain in the left side of my head right above my ear and all around that area when you think you are the only one with this it makes you so depressed especially when the doctor doesn't even know what to tell you, they just keep giving you pain pills or antidepressants telling you that you are probably depressed and Im not a depressed type person but this pain in my head is making me be like that sometimes. I just want myself back and I wish the doctors would look further into this. Right now Im taking percocets and it really doesn't do that much for the pain because it is always there even when it's dull its there. This has been going on for me for that last 4yrs. I had an operation for a ruptured ear and I believe the surgeon hit a nerve while he was inside my head. I don't know, I just want some relief. I do find being active helps the pain subside for a while but as soon as your sitting still it comes back. Sorry I wrote so much just need to vent.

I get them too, but im only 21. Im having one now that comes and goes. back right side on top of my head. it scares me. i also get very dizzy and my sight turns white/black at times when im standing or walking. i havent been to the doctor about any of this. im scared. is it normal for a 21 year old to be going through this?

This is the FIRST time I've ever written on a Med site. you just don't know how good it is to know that others have this random, sharp pain that feels like an ice pick in their head, just above the ear! Today I am having one of the worst cases EVER! I will go to the doc and ask for Indocin. Question: Could these have anything to do with an absessed tooth or gum disease? My gums NEVER bleed, but last night when I brushed my teeth, there was a very sensitive area that bled way in the back of my mouth near the molar area on the left side. Go upwards about 3 inches and that is where these stabbing pains occur. Wondering if anyone has heard of a correlation between dental issues and this "ice pick" headache. Thanks

I have been experiencing this since August. I don't like the name ice pick headaches, mine feels like a giant metalic ball with spikes behind my right eye. I don't know what way it is going to move or when. Almost always feel the sharp pain behind my eye or in the temple. Broke down and went to the doctor, cat scan on Wendesday.

Hi I have the exact same pains. I get them in my eyes, temples and all different places in my head. Its so frustrating, trying to focus at college and work! I have had them for little over a year and I'm 18 years old. I got these when I was 16.
I have also noticed my Head Twitches. Has anybody got this aswell?
I am seeing my GP on the 11th November and she has already sent me to an eye doctor as I was born with a Congenital squint (crosseyed) and 2D vision which has been corrected by 4 surgeries and I now some 3D vision. All my tests on my eyes came back fine.
When I see my GP on the 11th I hope she'll send me to a Neurologist. Its so frustrating to see so many of us having this and yet no answer to what it is! Hopefully Il find out soon And I will let you all no if I get any answers From my GP.

Good luck everybody
Charlie.

i have had these pains for 8 weeks everyday doctor says its in my mind lol but its not very sharp intense in different places feel short of breath too dont know what to do

I suddenly started getting these sharp, stabbing pains behind my right ear. My neurologist is sending me for an MRI tomorrow, but diagnosed me with shingles in my right eyebrow! He but me on heavy doses of Valtrex for the shingles, along with tegretol for the supposed neuralgia behind my right ear (sharp, stabbing pain). After 2 days, the pain is still there, just as sharp as ever.

ive been having the same problems too.
i have a sharp pain on the right side of my head for about 3 seconds then it is followed by a hot-cool sensation.i dont know what it is.its been going on for about 1 month now.
