What Causes Sharp Pain On The Left Side Of My Head?

I have pain and soreness on the left side of my head, neck, and shoulder. It started out as sharp pain on the left side of my head last spring off and on. Now it has progressed to pain and soreness constantly. I get relief only when I do Yoga or light aerobics. What could be causing this? Please help.

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As you have pain in neckz, shoudler and upper back, It should be because of the nerve impingement in the cervical spine. Also, an MRI will help understand the soft tissue status.

Since you are getting relief by Yodg and aerobics this activities helps in improving the blood circulation and muscle stretching. Undergoing physical therapy for the same and getting a specific muscle Strengthening will help ease the factor.

In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy.
