How Can sharp Shooting Temple Pain Be Treated?

I get a sharp temporary shooting pain from my left temple up when I bend over. It does not last long, but it does happen everytime I bend over to pick something up. I had a CT brain (without contrast), and the findings were as follows: Parenchymal volume is within normal limits & No acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, midline shift, or extra-axial fluid collection. Atherosclerotic calcification of bilateral cavernous carotid arteries, pituitary gland appears somewhat prominent for age. The visible paranasal sinuses & mastoid air cells are normally aerated . So, why do you think I get daily headaches , & those shooting pains on the left side of my head?

Hello,

The given CT report is perfectly normal.

The symptoms are consistent with common causes like a migraine or a tension headache, as a first line management, you can try analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.

We have to rule out other causes also.

If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
