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.

Male | 69

When someone has a stroke, it can affect their ability to speak, eat, and move. This happens because parts of the brain that control these things get damaged. It’s important for him to be monitored closely by medical professionals to provide proper care, support, and therapy to help him regain functions. Patience, love, and proper medical care are key in his recovery journey.

Parkinson's disease­ causes shaking, stiffness, moveme­nt issues. Your tremors may signify this condition. When brain ce­lls malfunction, Parkinson's occurs. No cure exists yet, but tre­atments like medicine­, therapy, sometimes surge­ry can help manage symptoms. Working closely with he­althcare providers is key.

Hi mam I m 39 yr old I m looking for occupational therapy for the affected hand ( left) I m a stroke victim since 2017

Male | Arjun

I'm really glad that you've taken the step of turning to professional help for your left hand after you had a stroke. Principal problems might be weakness, decreased coordination, and more trouble in doing your daily activities. The occupational therapy can give you your strength back and improve the functioning through tailored exercises and techniques. It is focused on your skill development in doing practical life activities such as personal care tasks, so your daily life becomes much easier and more fun. My advice is to go an authentic health provider in the rehabilitation department who will open a dialogue to your needs and create an individual treatment plan.
