Why do I have sharp, fleeting head pain?
Patient's Query
I have very short (one second) pain in the same spot- back of my head. It is from 5 weeks. Sometimes i have 20 per day, sometimes 2 and sometimes 0 per 3 days. It’s sharp, like an impulse that flash and disappears. I made mri of brain without contrast (fse, frfse, fspgr, swi swan, dwi epi, t1 t2 t2* flair 3D) and mri of cervical spine (fse, stir). Boty are ok. Neurological exam, blood tests like morphology and crp are also ok. What can be a reason?
Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
These types of fleeting pains could sometimes be linked to something called occipital neuralgia, which involves the nerves in that area acting up. Stress, poor posture, or even muscle tension can sometimes trigger it. It might be helpful to try some relaxation techniques, gentle neck exercises, and maybe even some over-the-counter pain relief if needed. If these symptoms persist or worsen, do reach out to your neurologist for further evaluation and guidance.
