What Causes Painful Spasms On The Left Side Of My Head?
I have very painful spasms on the left side of my head behind and over the ear. I have had this for 48 hours now - no injuries, no trauma - I am thinking it s a pinched nerve b/c my upper left back/neck is very sore. Are there other virus s other than meningitus which would cause this?

Hello,
Painful spasm on the left side of the head and over the ear can be due to migraine, cluster headache or some kind of headache. I suggest you consult your physician for clinical assessment, diagnosis and thus management.

Take care
