I've been having intense sharp pain above my left eye that goes into my head for a few years now. It is getting worse. I have it usually on a daily basis. It hurts for about a minute and my vision is now becoming blurry. I am not sure what it could be. I read tht it could be a nerve or something. It hurts like heck and is scary. I just called my doctor and am waiting for a call back. Good luck!

Just within the last couple of days, I have had this intensely sharp pain in my left temple. I think it actually woke me up last night. Then today, as I was walking to my car, it hit again and I put pressure on my temple to relieve the pain. Just sitting here at the computer, I feel my neck and shoulders are a little sore. But, I have never had a sharp pain in my head like this before. It doesn' last very long, but when it hits, it really hurts and is concerning to me. Does anyone here know what this might be causing this pain?

That same thing has been happening to me for two or three months now. My parents have no idea what it might be, but they don't beleive me when I say it might be Neuralgia. The thing is, it's never in the same place. It's almost always in my head, and it lasts for like 30 sec. or a minute, but it happens at different places and different times. I know that really sharp pain, and I feel for you! I don't have a diagnosis, but I really hope you find something, and that it's nothing major. Fingers crossed!

hi everyone...
I was experiencing the same exact symptoms the sharp pain that would only last a couple of seconds and I had to get a MRI and it figured out that I have Chiari Malformation (Type 1). This is a malformation of the skull in the back of the head were the brain nerves comeout and the hole is too small so it squeezes thr nerves which causes the sharp pain . other symptoms are headaches, clumziness, and dizziness. and a few more if you search it on google you can get a lot about this malformation but make sure to type in type 1. there are 3 types. I now go to a neurologist every 6 months because they have to check your brain and see how the sharp pains are and the headaches are going. Sorry i typed soo much!haha.
I hope i helped some people nice talking to you ...Bye!

Pain started about a year ago 2 to 3 times a day lasted for only a few sec so never went to a dr. and the pain was always the same spot felt like a clot that would finally pass. then one day at work i collapsed and had a seizure. never having a history they rushed me in to the hospital by ambulance i felt fine when in went in to hospital then not long after i had a major seizure and then they just kept coming 20 to 30 a day grand mal and petite mals i have no memory for 2 and 1/2 weeks was not able to eat was in icu for 3 weeks and the whole time there they i complained of my right side of my head killing me they were baffled they were not able to help me all the mri ekg and blood work looked fine they did 3 eegs on me first one abnormal next 2 normal so they slowly weened me off my seizure meds and i got better pain still there and now i have sizurs
and they say they are unable to find anything wrong with me and called what i had pseudo seizures and i the pain now is esculating and moving to the left side now scared and feel alone test show nothing but i i know there is something not right any one ever heard of this?

Please keep on this with your doctor..A scan would be a big relief if no problem and if there is a problem catching it before it becomes traumatic..I have met 2 people who were being told they had migraines-oh they had migraines but they also had other issues..One had a small tumor--operable..The other my sister-had a tumor in the meninges-only partially opearable..This means it could reoccur for her..

I firmly believe in taking charge of ones health as I have seen what happens if you don't..

Most doctors are over worked..Mistakes can happen..I say don't be a mistake..

I am not saying you have a tumor--only saying safe than sorry never ever hurts anyone..

am 18 and i have the same sharp pain in the right side of my brain. but mine last for more than just seconds, they can go on for about an hour. it seems to get more painful each time that the pain comes back, painkillers do not help anymore and today i almost passedout at school due to the intense of the pain.

For the last day and a half I have this sharp pain in the right side of my head just above the temple and it shoots back to about above my ear and it feels like a sharp knife sliced into my head it last for a few sec.

Now as I am typing it's in one spot above my ear and last for a few secs. I think I will go to the emergency room if it does not stop this evening.
