How To Cure Sharp Pain On Right Side Of Head Post Acoustic Neuroma Surgery?
I m healthy - active 70 yr old female, I had acoustic neuroma surgical removed (R side) Jan. 08, with a f/u MRI in 6 mo which was negative. For the pass several yr s I ve had pain ( sharp - shooting - like a flash) in R side of my head, does not last long ( seconds), but I find my self grabing the area, never take any thing for this pain, unable to idenfie any action or time of day that causes the pain, pain is local and at times it feels like pressure. Thanks for any help, Judy Broussard

is your sharp shooting pain lasting for few seconds is associated with any watering from eyes/congestion in nose? Such short lasting pains are many times SUNCT and diagnosis is clinical with no obvious MRI Brain finding to explain headache. Most are responsive to Tab Indomethacin
