Pain

[matty]

I've had a sharpe pain on and off for a few days on my left side of my head.
It comes on suddenly sometimes after movement just on the one side and is quite a throbbing stabbing pain.
When I put my head on my pillow it was worse a real throbbing pain but then settled after some time.
Its not a constant and just comes on know and then.
Anyone else suffer with headaches like this ?

Sounds like sinus pain. Why not just go to the doctor

 

[matty]

Don't want to waste the doctors time with something so trivial.
If it goes on for weeks and weeks then perhaps

If it continues might be worth speaking to the Doctor I would suggest. Ask your surgery to get the Doctor to call you back one day?

Don’t pee about. Get to the doctor or A and E. Ever heard of an aneurism?

I didn't want to alarm anyone by using the A word...

All back to normal went as quick as it came!

If it does come back don't mess around. You may think it's trivial but my daughter is a neurosurgery nurse and has always said never ignore a throbbing headache or something that feels like a thunder clap.

GP might recommend MRI mate. Probably nothing.

I ignored pain, felt I was 'putting it on', ended up in hos for 4 weeks, spinal surgery, ignored the next load of pain, more spinal surgery, i'm now disabled, and had further stays in hos due to pain. still feel like i'm a fraud, claiming my £110 a week! DON'T IGNORE IT. or you might end up like me

I suffered big time about 10 years ago with head bursting headaches that would come out of nowhere and could last for hours or be gone in minutes. Purely by chance I eventually discovered it was water I was drinking in a place I was working that was heavily treated and it was this that was causing my extreme headaches. I only discovered the water was the issue because I went on holiday for a fortnight and not one headache and when I returned and went to this place I got a splitting headache within an hour of drinking the water. I later found that the water wasn't up to scratch and the authorities had increased the chlorine content in it. It didn't affect anyone else and I can tell ye I was fair relieved when I figured out what was up as I was having visions of all kinds of things gone wrong in my head and none of them good.

I started having bad pain in my right jaw right eye and right side of my head about 3 years ago .Even though i take morphine based painkillers for other conditions the pain would not shift.
I did find that after trial and error that Ibuprofen with Lysine from Home Bargains of all places worked well.But since been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and take Sukkarto sr tabs i have not had any of those type of headaches since.
So please see the doctor if you have these symptoms you never know

TMJ is the usual culprit for me. Sinus is the other. Using head muscle stretch exercises work. Def worse in the winter.
