QUESTION:
For the past 3 to 4 weeks I have had extremely sharp pains shoot through the back of my head. The area is on the left side, behind my ear above the neck. It only last a few seconds to a minute. At first it was only every now & then. Now it happens frequently all through the day but has not happened at night. Or at least it has not disturbed my sleep. For the past few days, during the time this occurs, my eye has a "lazy" type of feeling and sometimes tingles. It has made the back area of my head and the left side of my face sore to the touch and it has a burning type of sensation. Not severe, just a warmth. Any help?

REPLY:
These pains could be caused by a variety of problems. The only way to be sure is to go to a doctor who can review your medical history and symptoms and conduct an exam.

Dear sufferer:
This could represent any number of things. Any neck injuries in the past?? Headache history?? Teri is right a good sit-down with a trusted doctor should get you on the right path. Good luck.
