could be tmj. i get it every now and again and it lasts a while. it is due to clenching my teeth when i sleep.

Do your eyes feel gritty & watery as well as being light-sensitive?

I had headaches like this for a few years, and was diagnosed with various things, neuralgia being one of them. In the end I'm convinced it was actually my HRT that was the culprit, as when I stopped them, the headaches went. But yeah, they were very similar to yours, travelling up from the left base of my neck, up & over to my eye on that side, and down through to my jaw.

Yeah I often get eye sensitivity the pains been on and off started gettin it agen today but in a different place this time still on my left side but behind the top of my ear, its really worrying me even though I've been to the doctors and they don't seem overly concerned about it they keep saying it could be a nerve problem because im a hairdresser im always bending and standing for long periods of time but this pain is sudden and really hurts then after seconds its gone but the docs haven't diagnosed anything yet, just need some advice because I'm petrified its something majorly serious, thanks xx
