Скачать или смотреть Sharp Head Pain Out of Nowhere? Here's What It Actually Is

Ever feel a lightning bolt zap the back of your head out of nowhere?
That sharp, stabbing pain could be occipital neuralgia.
It happens when the nerves at the base of the skull get irritated. You get jabs or shocks from the neck up into the scalp and behind an eye.
It's not a typical migraine. It's nerve pain, often triggered by a light touch or turning your head.
Common causes include tight neck muscles, poor posture, previous injuries, or pressure on those nerves from tension or inflammation.
The pain can be intense but brief, like an electric shock. Some people also feel tenderness when touching their scalp or the back of their head.
Treatment often includes physical therapy, nerve blocks, muscle relaxants, or addressing the underlying cause like posture or tension.
Think of it as your neck's nerve alarm system gone rogue 🧠
