Terrible headache on right side of head.

Posted by kneerider @kneerider, Mar 31 9:19pm

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?

@beachlife67 The original McKenzie Cervical Roll. OPTP.com or 1-800-367=7393. item #703.
Believe me I have spent $$ searching for correct pillow. I love this I wrap a small down pillow
around it, (softens ). I have read some folks put itside a pillow case. I also purchased the Lumbar
Roll I am conveinced our poor posture affects our Headacks, along with their books"Treat your own Neck" by Robin McKenzie. Best to you they have all help. This is going to sound crazy but
when my neck gers knots I use a broom handle roll up and down. (IT WORKS).

Severe one-sided pain that shifts between head, ear, and teeth is most commonly linked to Trigeminal Neuralgia (electric, shock-like bursts triggered by touch/chewing), but can also be Cluster Headache (intense one-sided attacks with eye watering or nasal symptoms), Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (jaw-related pain worse with chewing/clenching), Sinusitis (pressure with congestion and tooth pain), or a dental issue so if it’s new, severe, or recurring, get evaluated by a dentist or neurologist to pinpoint the cause.
