Hello,
off and on for 20 years I have had sharp
pains in the temple area and sometimes it
seems like directly through the middle of
my head from side to side always starting
at the temple. It almost feels like an
electrical shock. I have had an mri or
mra or something and nothing was found.
The doctor said it was a headache, but it
only lasts for a few seconds. Often
they will occur when a front comes through
the area. Sometimes it is very painful.
Also, other than the pains I am
describing I never have a headache.

Headaches Posted: 02-28-06 21:42pm
I am not sure what the answer to that
question is however I experience the same
symptoms along with having migraine
headaches 3-5 times a day. I go for an
mri this friday. The doctor said that
the sharp pains are part of stress related
events along with the beginning stages of
a headache. It would definitely be nice
to know the answer to this question.

Hi there! I am a migrane sufferer too,
I have been using immitrex but it is sooo
expensive. Has anyone ever tried that
new product that is new and is advertised
a lot on t.V that you rub on your head,
yes, stress has a lot to do with it at
times also I feel that your vision can be
a problem at times and if you read a lot
or watch t.V. Or work on the computer
quite a bit along with sleep.
Good luck to you all!

Hello, I also have been suffering from
sharp pains in the back of my head, they
are pretty sharp but they only last for a
few seconds. I read on some forums and
they describe this kind of pain as a
iceprick headache. I'm pretty scared
because i'm only 16 years old, and
everyone else who are having these pains
are 30 and older, i've been having it for
about 2 months now, at least once a day,
and I only notice it when i'm not busy. I
am flying to a special neurologist doctor
in hong kong in a month or so, what do you
all think it is?
sharp pains in back of head Posted: 02-12-08 01:59am
I am a 30 year old with sharp pains in the
back of my head. I just started getting
them a few weeks ago so I'm very worried.
It feels like s electical shock from the
back sides of my head and travel to the
front, they don't last but a few seconds
but coninue on. I am worried due to I do
smoke and am a little overweight. could it
be caused by stress or something more
serious.
