What is causing this strange aching on the right side of my head. I woke up with yhis awful headache yesterday and prayed it would go away after a good night s rest, but no such luck. Now in day two of this madness, I ve noticed that the pain seems to intensify when I lean forward or laugh. I think I ve located a few points of origin: discomfort/pressure on back right side of neck, right temple is tender to the touch, right side of the crown of my head throbbing, dull pain and pressure/heaviness behind right eye. S.O.S.!
