I was on a lot of windy conditions outside before this started. It don't know if that is a problem or not.
Please help,
Thank you,

Hi Patti, I am relate to your headache symptoms except mine going for years and years. I've also done MRI, lots of physio sessions.
Still no better.
My doctor suggested to take migraine pills, which I don't think the right thing to do.
What is your condition at the moment.

I had a similar problem, except my headache was near the right ear. No MRI or any neurologist could find anything wrong. Finally, a cosmetic dentist accidentally found that I had developed a granuloma (like a tumor) on the root canal of my tooth on the top right side. After removing the tooth all the headaches were gone. I was also told that in some situation, a granuloma, could be removed without removing the tooth. A granuloma can be seen on a dental x-ray, but you have to tell your dentist to look for it, as they usually ignore this as this treatment is probably not covered by insurance for a regular dentist.
