Hello. This past week I started getting a stabbing pain on the back, right side of my head. It's stationary and always in the same location. About even with the top of my ear and around to the back as far as feels like the bone on the right side (up an index finger's length from base of skull). It has only been on the right side and the frequency has gone from a couple times a day to several times a day. It lasts for a few seconds and then disappears. It's not excrutiating as it only last a few seconds. I've tried taking (2-excedrin migraine, w/one tylenol); but it doesn't make a difference. Not sure if this is related, but back in 1997 I started having problems with elevation changes. When I descend in elevation there is a horrible (worst pain of my life) pain that encompasses my entire skull and feels like very sharp pains in several areas that start at the top of the skull and run down through my face, gums, teeth and through what feels like tendons in my neck; but no farther- feels like the head could explode because it's so painful. It usually lasts about 10 minutes, but occasionally 15-20 and nothing helps, just have to wait it out. Then is slowly starts backing off. This happens every time without fail. Do you have any suggestions for remedy either of these situations? Can I expect that they will go away without any problems. Is there anything that I can try on my own to see if it is something that I'm doing to cause the back of the head pain. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and the right side of my neck is showing signs of restricted movement; left side is fine from my non-medical perspective. Thanks so much for your time. Michelle

Hey Michelle:
was surfing the web to get an idea of what I am also going through and come across the same title as yours.
I also get the same pain on the right side. Really started bothering me more this morning, it has been going on all day every half hour even woke up from deep sleep. I am thinking the worst here.
It feels more like someone is pulling the heck out of my hair that little spot and travels through to my ear and then gone in 2 minutes. I really hope this is not serious and just a cluster headache from what i was reading.
well just wanted to let you know that your not alone on this.
let me know what you find out,, same on this end

Hi Michelle,
I have been experiencing the same stabbing pain in my head, in exactly the same spot that you describe. It feels like someone is stabbing a skewer or knitting needle into my head. I'm a bit worried. Can anyone help explain what this may be?
Tks
Kate
