Pain On One Side of My Head...need Help Posted: 08-18-05 10:42am
Hi,
two weeks ago I hit my head - the left
side, above my ear towards the top of my
head. Now I have this little pimple like
bump and it aches (it hasn't hurt since I
bumped it) then all of a sudden I get
these jolting pains (like stabs) down my
head, sort of through my throat and down
my neck on the left side. These symptoms
only started last night but I must say
that I had only slept two hours the night
before, so last night I was totally
exhausted, and although I slept 8 hours
last night I am still pretty beat. These
sudden jolts of pain and this constant
ache on my head is weird and I am
concerned. My mother had singles last
year - she thought she had an ear ache and
was developing adult acney. Could I be
getting the shingles?
