We moved from florida to N.C. 2 years ago. My BF never had
Headaches in Florida. He works in a machine shop that has
no circulating air. He does work 12 hr shifts. But he also gets
10 hours of sleep. He is very stressed as I am not well and
am not working as of yet. He has also hurt his lower back
and gets knots in his shoulders that seem to rotate from left
to right they sometimes feel like cysts. But then they do disappear,
as would a knot. Which usually can be caused by stress. Sitting
at a computer with your head cocked to one side can also
cause a kink in your neck, as with stress. Over excercising
can cause stress on the vertebrae which in return can pinch
a nerve. These can all leed to headaches or migraines. He also
smashed his head in falling head first in to a drainage hole in
the road and almost died. So we are back to having an injury.
Today he wakes up with numbness in his righ arm, without laying
on it overnight. as that would cause numbness. So now I am
very concerned as someone has mentioned aneurysm, which
is also very likely. I thought stroke, but asked if he had
weakness in leg also, he didn't have any confusion,. or difficulty
speaking and his mouth did not droop to one side. He had an
MRI last year. But I think MRI shows deep bone and solid
mass, so if that were the case it would not show an aneurysm>
Some people do however have tiny plaques or clots I believe
that go undetected till it does become an aneurysm. Believe
me you will know. It would be a sudden extreme smashing
worst pain in your life hit to the head and I will tell you , you
best be in the hospital when it happens thats how fast it is.
So finally he is going to see a neurologist. Yes I can tell him
to do something till I am blue in the face. So hopefully we will
have an answer soon. I hate seeing him in so much pain. As the
rest of you are dealing with.

Hello
I have suffered shooting pains down both sides of my face. I have had this problem for over (17 years)!!! At first I thought I had wisdom teeth trouble and went to the dentist - I described my pain as just about bearable but never-the-less it was a constant shooting pain mainly down one side of of my face, like a toothache but deep inside my gums if that makes sense. Sometimes the pain just stops and then it comes back and stays for about 2 or 3 days. I have over the years been put on antibiotics when the pain got really bad, taken various over the counter sinus tablets and inhaled frequently also I take a nasal spray morning and night to help me breathe and it is for my associated allergies. To date although I have been to the hospital, seen various ear,nose and throat doctors, the only thing that makes sense is that my sinus's are trapped around the root of nerve endings in my face which triggers off an attack. Strange thing is over the last two years the pain is now located down the left hand side of my face and on a level of 1 - 5, I would say it is a 3 - I must be used to the constant dragging pain by now. At night if my gum is throbbing and keeping me awake, I take a sinus relief tablet but there has been no real answer or cure except for me to have invasive mouth surgery by cutting the roots/nerves around where the sinus is supposed to be twisted to deaden the pain and then it might be hit and miss. I was told to use a special tiny tooth flossing type brush which can now be bought over the counter. If I use the flossing brush in between the two teeth where the pain is I do find it subsides, I dip the little bristle brush in some mouth wash and just dig away. I'm sure I am going to wear the gum away where I am always digging at it because of the shooting pain in between - it's like a painful itch that you just can't scratch. I am the only person who has this annoying problem. 8-|

I get similar pains that shoots from back of ear to the back of head. But the pains I'm getting happens every 20 to 30 seconds. I cant even lay on my left side of head, make sudden movements, or handle loud noises. The pain happens anytime, when I'm relaxing, reading, working, or even asleep. I Cant even go to sleep some nights cus the pain would shoot me right out of my sleep. And when it happens whne im awake, it stops me dead in my track. A sudden shock,pain, so sharp, its piercing. Its been going on for 5 days now and the pain is still accuring while im typing this. One doc told me its my eyes, but my eye exam came out excellent.
I hope its nothing seriouse, im only 28. Sometimes even swallowing hurts. And the back of my head (left side) is swollen.
Help!!!

I have exactly the same thing...for the first time in my life (I'm 50). It hurts so bad that at first I thought I must have hit my head on something. My right ear is painful and hot...jabbing pain on right side of head regularly every 30 seconds or so that wakes me up. Top of my head very sore; hurts to brush my hair. What the heck is this? It doesn't sound like an ice pick headache because its a debilitaing pain every 30 seconds that has lasted for a few days now. The regular intervals are what really confuse me.

Like an earlier user my head pains (usually start at the top of my head on the right side and travel down toward the top of the back-side of my ear. it may be a 2 second event at most but usually happens 20 30 times at 60 second intervals) started when I started drinking Vitamin Water. I was under the impression that it was good for you because of the list of great ingredients. I am now going to discontinue use and see what happens. I do not drink water with fluoride added to it and vitamin water states it contains reverse osmosis water. That means any fluoride should be lost in the process. I do not believe the Coca-Cola company or anything it says unless it is "I want more money." and as you may know Vitamin Water was bought by the Coke company. I will let you know how my headaches progress.
After some more research I have reason to believe that this can be attributed to the use of cellular devices like a phone or wireless internet. Computer monitors also give off signals that can be bad for you. From here on out I am limiting my time on the cellular phone, sitting further away from my monitor, turning off the wireless output on my router, and I am going to seriously try and curb this. I am willing to bet that everyone who has posted here uses a cellular phone on a daily basis.

I once had sharp pains in the right side of my head. It would come for a second, and slowly go away then it would keep doing that like a pulse. It lasted a few days and went away. It was soo annoying! Sometimes, once in a while it would come and go away. Now im starting to feel sharp pains on other parts of my body, like my hand, or leg or arm. o.O Its weird.. i dont know whats wrong, and i am only a teenager!

I too have had these sharp shooting pains off and on for a few years. They will go away for months at a time and then come back. It is like someone is sticking a knife in my ear or, sometimes, up my neck into my skull. My skin is sore to the touch and feels bruised when this is happening. The shooitng pain can occur every few minutes. Taking Alever or Motrin sometimes helps. The other thing that helps me is going to the chiropractor. In fact this is how I can usually tell I need to go in. When these pains start and don't go away after a day or two, or keep reoccuring I know I need to go in. Getting re-aligned takes care of it until next time. I am experiencing the pains right now and think I know what caused it. While feeding my horses last night I tripped and fell into a snow bank with a full pitchfork full of hay and wrneched my shoulder and back. This morning I woke up with the pains. I am sure it is not the same for everyone but for me it seems directly related to my spine needing to be realigned. It is amazing the things chiropratory can help with and I would recommend to highly.

I just got some pains that woke me up in the night. The sensation feels like a shooting pain running through a little vein and a little bit like an electrical shock. I have been drinking Pelligrino lemon soda and this is the only new
thing I have injested. It really scares me. Anyone know what this could be?

i have been getting the same thing happening to me as well. I'm a girl & im only 14 i'll be 15 in two months. its been going on for at least a few years now. The person who posted this described her problem just like my own. I havn't been to the doctor because my mom did'nt really think much of it. but now that its been happening more often, I have been getting more concerned. I think it's only happened like about 7 or 8 times over the past 3-4 years. Sometimes it happens if i flip my hair with my head, i pick up my almost 2 year old brother or sometimes if im laughing. It just feels like a shooting pain towards the back of my head on the right side. Im worried about this problem and I think I'll talk my mom into taking me to the doctor
