A few times a year.. with no noticeable common denominator..i get a pain, similar to a knife(larger than needle-sized pain) boring into my right temple. the pain is debilitating for about 5 seconds. It is very severe..then its gone, with no after-effects. I am a 34 yr old female, with no diagnosed health problems except rheumatoid arthritis. .But i have been having these pains for the last 7 years or so.

 Hi,
It would be very difficult to evaluate a fleeting type pain. It could be anything or nothing. It does sound a bit like neurogenic pain (?trigeminal nerve), muscle pain?
If this becomes more frequent or any other symptoms arise you should get it checked by a physician. A neurological examination can sometimes reveal a hidden, discrete pathology.
