I have been suffering from stabbing pain in my head. I have had this kind of pain for 40 years on occassion. My mom also had it. She called it neuralgia and the doctors in Buffalo, NY seemed to agree with the same. Some times it would hit my face, eyes,teeth, but not always. This time it is at top of head, has lasted more than 3 weeks, and I truly, can t stand the pain. Do you think it is neuralgia?
