Sharp Pain In The Neck. On Ibuprofen. What Is Causing This?
I have been experiencing sharp pain in the back of my head/ neck on the right side. It happens when I sit, or stand, and when I m sleeping. I don t have headaches anywhere else unless it s related to sinus . But it is uncomfortable and pretty sharp when it happens. Lasts for several minutes and sometimes I have to take ibuprophen to get relief.

Hi,
You are having occipitonuchal headache and more towards Right side which is exacerbated by sitting, standing or sleeping.You need to consult neurologist for detail evaluation. and further management.Cervical nerve root involvement to be ruled out in view of right sided symptoms for which MRI cervical spine may be needed.
