What Causes Pain Behind The Head?
I have a throbbing pain located on the left lower back of my head. It is not a continuous throb, but off and on throughout the day/night. It has been radiating to my left ear, temporal area. I went to the walk-in clinic & e.r. over the week end. They tested me for temporal arteritis that was negative. So they gave me order for cyclopenzaprine. which made me sleep but did not solve the problem. I am using1000mg Tylenol every 6 hours. Can you tell me what may be causing the throbbing?
