What Causes Persistent Pain On One Side Of The Head?
I have had a pain on the side of my head for 48 hours. It sometimes is very sharp as I can feel my pulse in the pain. It seems to be just under the surface of the skin. The pain somewhat feels like I have been leaning against something hard like a pressure point that hurts.
