Nope! Not "discomfort", just actual pain, pure & simple. Pain. Jabbing, stabbing, jolting, sudden, shocking, hurts like a sob pain.

[enesodabas]

I have been trying to identify this pain for years. You are a lifesaver. You just made yourself a lifetime subscrber. THANK YOU!!!!

A huge THANK YOU for making this video. It is Sunday evening and I had to search to find the video. I had those sharp pains since Thursday evening. I went to a walk in clinic Friday evening, they knew nothing. Saturday I went to purchase some pain killers and sinus meds thinking that may have been it, nope. I woke up this morning and researched again and found this video. I gave it a try, a couple of times. The pain seemed like it didn't want to stop. I did fall asleep again. When I woke up, and began moving about, I noticed an hour, couple of hours, half a day, and then tonight NO PAIN!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! May God bless you for sharing this simple step that works!

Never thought of a solution so basic like this. I've only been able to diagnose this just recently. Never thought of it as an "issue". But this is an actual medical condition that really makes your life more stressful without even knowing. I massaged my scalp just now for the first time. I try to be as flexible as possible but I was shocked at how stiff my scalp was. Thanks so much and give your scalps some love people!

I have experienced this also and in fact some call these type of headaches ice pick headaches because it literally feels like someone is stabbing you in the head then the pain instantly goes away.
I just used this technique and it really worked. I also used peppermint oil to massage on the area of my scalp to help with the soreness of my scalp that was left from the stabbing/electric shock pain.
Thank you so much doctor for making this video.

[rockobattino]

Thank you… I been looking and looking for someone that knew what this was and you nailed it.
It feel good to know what’s happening and not be scared about it.

[Sagar_Tachtode_]

Thank you for removing the fear and helping to curb the pain

[lilitheymanuail]

You were able to put words on my feelings 🙏🏻 ThanX infinitely, now I can explain it better

[iamtararenee]

Finally! I can put a name to the feeling. Thank you so much!

So glad I found this video- or it found me ! I think my recent odd headaches were due to the hat I wore playing guitar out in the cold for 3 hours ... tight cap on my head probably the most probable cause. Been having electric shock shooting pain since driving home from that gig ! Did these scalp massages just now and feel it’s helping. Thanks for the excellent demo !

[RteeAlvarez]

It’s scary and it doesn’t help when you suffer from panic/anxiety disorder

[retutato]

I thought I'm the only one, who gone through this pain . It's been 10 years I have this issue... thanks doctor and my partners to share each of your side on this issue

[TimeHemp]

Thank you for the video - it answered my questions and has given me solutions - YOU ROCK!!

[RK-tpvc]

The efforts taken to make the viewer to understand is highly appreciated

You sir are a blessing. Every symptom you have talked about I have. Even the awesome people commenting have some of the same symptoms. I've done chiropractic treatments that helped a lot. However the tight pain in my temple areas coupled with the tightness and tingling in the back and top of my head make even the easiest chores very difficult. I've experienced the brain zaps numerous times, but mostly while looking at my cellphone, or laptop. The zaps will usually leave me dizzy for a good amount of time. I won't bother you with the rest of symptoms. Just wanted to say thank you for validating everything I've been feeling. All of this started for me with a concussion I suffered last July. Thank you again, and God bless you 🙂

Omg! I never shared this experience with anyone ever! This started with me around 2010 or 2011. It feels like electricity surging trough my head in zaps and my scalp would be sensitive to touch and painful, just like he explains in the video, but it also zaps through my left ear too. On and off this had happened for years. I finally researched it a couple years ago and I felt relieved that there was a name for it, but I forgot what it was called.

Fast forward to this moment….I’m actually having one. It started a few hours ago. I decided to do a YouTube search this time and found this video. This guy is actually explaining how to get relief and I am applying what he has recommended, right now, so I can go to bed. I hope it works.

Thanks for the video and explanation.


UPDATE: This relived the pain! Along with me massaging my neck (especially, the sore, left side.

[clleeson]

Like the others who posted I had a hard time getting answers for this problem. And pain killers don’t help! I’m doing the massage. This is the only vid I found that accurately described how I experience it.

[katnip]

I've been having this problem on and off ever since I hit my head 12 years ago. So far you are the only person who knows what to call this problem.
