hiAt very random points I get a very sharp pain in the back of my head behind my left ear. This just started a couple months ago. It doesn't happen very often but when it does happen its in the same exact spot every time, and doesn't last long at all, but is very sharp. like its there and then it gone. I haven't had any head trauma recently so i was wondering what it could be.
Hello,You may have a stress reaction with your jaw such as clenching your teeth. This pressure can cause a radiating pain. Damage to teeth, muscles and TMJ ( temporomandibular joint ) can occur. The condition is known as bruxism . There  can be many reasons for bruxism like stress , misalignment of teeth or problem in TMJ it self . The pain related to TMJ radiate to the entire face and even to head and behind ear . A night or occlusal guard can help reduce grinding habits. Consider scheduling a visit with your dentist for evaluation. A thorough dental exam with X-rays is recommended.Doctor may also do physical examination by checking movement of TMJ and may also order CT scan of TMJ . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant . For now take ibuprofen for pain . Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Dr. Harry Maheshwari
