What Does Pain On The Right Side Of The Head Indicate?
For the past two days or so, I began to experience a sharp, jabbing pain in one region of my head, more specifically the right side of it. It lasts for about 3-4 seconds, and occurs about every 30-40 seconds. It all started after I cracked my neck in one way, so I was thinking that these two events were connected. I’ve looked online, and websites have been saying it could be something called an ‘ice-pick headache’? Would anyone be able to confirm this? How should I go about treating it?

The two events can be connected.
I suggest you to do a neurological examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile you can try painkillers like Ibuprofen three times a day for relief.
