Anybody get "ice pick" headaches?

I think I'm experiencing an ice pick headache. I had it once before years ago, and it seems like it's back again.

  • Since I woke up a couple hours ago I keep getting little sharp zaps on the left side of my head, behind my ear. They last like a split second but are pretty painful. Feels almost like a ssharp muscle cramping or spazzing.
  • Does anyone know what causes this and why we get them? Anybody else deal w this?
