Question : Hello. 3 days ago I woke up with a sore stiff neck and a very sharp, searing pain in the left side of my forehead below my hairline (with no headache) and it hasn't gotten better and I can't find relief. What is going on?

Brief Answer:
An X-ray needs to be done

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the 'Ask A Doctor' service.

I have gone through your query in detail. Your complaints could be due to cervical spondylosis.

You should get an X-Ray of cervical spine done and you need to see a doctor with the report thereafter. If needed, you can take Naprosyn (Naproxen) 500mg SOS for the pain.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
