What Causes Stabbing Pain In The Left-sided Head?
I ve had a headache on the left side of my head for three days now. On the back, towards the top. Recently had a headache that lasted 10 days in the same spot, but was more like being stabbed every 30 seconds or so. I do have Sarcoidosis. I ve no faith in doctors but I can t stand the pain anymore.

Hi,
It might be a migraine headache or a cluster headache. It has got no relation with your sarcoidosis. As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
