What Causes Throbbing Pain On Left Side Of Head?
hi Dr. I get this striking/throbing pain in the left side of the inside of my head, it doesn t feel like what other people describe as migraines, which has kept me scared...The fear of a brain tumor takes over my mind when ever the pain begins. the pain/ache comes instantly whenever i cross my legs could you tell me what this could be, or what i could do to manage it.
