Terrible headache on right side of head.

Posted by kneerider @kneerider, 6 days ago

Sometimes it feels like it is earache, toothache, hurts in different places on right side of head. Not migraines. Any other suggestions what might be causing this?

Sounds exactly like occipital neuralgia. I’ve had it for many years. There are numerous approaches to managing it. See a neurologist or pain specialist.

I’m suffer from chronic migraines but, I also experienced the same problem only on my left side.
My problem was misdiagnosed as TMJ for nearly a year….my dentist, yes dentist found it to be stage IV base of tongue cancer which included my throat. The tumor in my throat was causing pressure on a nerve which caused the painful ear.
Not saying this is your problem but don’t waste time getting medical attention!
