Shooting pain in head

Posted , 4 users are following.

hey, so for a few weeks now I’ve noticed that whenever I step down too hard, bump my foot, (only on my right foot) or even bite too hard I get a shooting pain that goes up the right side of my head/right side of my forehead above my eyebrow. It isn’t awful pain, probably only a 3 on a scale of 10, and only lasts for a second. Is it possible it’s some sort of nerve damage?

    Definitely sounds like a nerve issue. Mine was shooting stabbing pain on my top right side of scalp. Neurologist diagnosed as Occipital neuralgia. look it up might be just what you have.

    Ibuprofen stopped the pain but in higher dosage (800 mg if not more)
