Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Head And Shoulder Blade

On Friday Sept 4th I was waiting in the waiting room for my dad to come out of surgery and all of a sudden on the left side of my head I had a very very sharp pain that went down the left side of my face and under my left jaw line. The inside of mouth hurt a little. It lasted about 5 minutes then started to go away. I also have left shoulder and shoulder blade pain and when I push on the top my shoulder I can feel how tight it is, what in the world was that? I thought I was about to have a stroke! Ever since then I ve been having these sharp little pains come and go in my head

Hi
Thanks for consulting us.
Pain described by you is most probably neurologic.have you had similar problems in the past?Causes could be diabetes, viral and vascular including stroke. Multiple Sclerosis if you are Caucasian. Cervical Spondylosis is a possibility.
My advice is to get a physician review urgently.
Meanwhile you can get pain killers for pain.
Hope it is useful for you.
Feel free to contact
