Lately I have been getting headaches and when I don't have headaches I get a painfull sting in the left side of my brain, it doesnt last long but its so severe, what can the causes of this be?

This sounds painful but we aren;t Doctors and as such can't make a diagnosis.

The best thing is to contact your own GP who will be able to help.

Sorry. plenty of support here though

Good Luck

Thank you for the response, I would just like any recomendations of what it "might" be.

I, too, would recommend that you see your GP about this. However, there is a condition called Ice Pick Headaches, or Primary Stabbing Headaches, which are very common in people who get migraine. These are just as you describe, a stabbing pain in your head which lasts a few seconds and are very painful. I get them myself. It's a possibility, but it's much better to see your GP and get checked out.

I feel the same thing... It all started when I wash bathing, I washed in my ear with soap and I think the soap went to deep. After that I got this intense sting in the left side of my brain, one after the other. It lasted about 30 min. And now I get that sting like twice a week..... is it possible to get soap in your brain???
