What Causes Recurring Pain On Left Part Of Head?
I have this sharp re occuring pain in the back left part of my head...it comes and goes and it has been like that all day. The only way I can describe the pain is someone pinching me really hard and hitting a nerve or something. I am a 19 year old girl.

Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query.
It is probably a pinched nerve on your upper cervical spine that is causing your symptoms.
Try to avoid any triggering position.
Use for a couple of weeks a soft cervical collar.
If symptoms persist, then you should see your Doctor.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
