Hi..

I may not be able to tell you for sure but it looks like MIGRAINE..

My father recently since last 2 weeks has been suffering from pain on the left side of the head starting above the left eye and extending to the back on the left side..

Today morning after waking up he described the pain as a nail has been hitting on the left side forehead above the eye..

We could'nt realise about it earlier that its a migraine but after searching over the net, i think its a migraine..
The doc also suggested an MRI Scan to be done. Going to get it done today.

Now I am worried because there can be a lot of other reasons as well for prolonged headaches n i am praying that its just migraine and nthg else like tumor or hammorage... sory for the typo

Going to see a neurophysician as well after the MRI scan with the results..

So hopefully we can come to a conclusion of what the reason for the prolonged headache is and how to cure it.

I have searched a lot of stuf on this over the net.. some accupuncture and massage on certain areas of the head helps in relieving from the pain..

One of the main reasons i feel could be the eye.. my dad wears spectacles coz the right eye cant see nearby things clearly.. he can see far things.. dont knw i gues its called nearsightedness.

now i am also worried coz the left eye was normal but the pain is on the left side of the head.. which means that maybe his left eye s getting strained.

His work involves a lot of hours on the computer, approx 5 hrs everyday for 5 days a week which could be most probably the reason as well..

well i am hoping to get a result soon will post it, really tensed for him and hoping he gets well soon..

IF ANYONE CAN HELP PLEASE POST UR REPLIES

Regards

and now that you were saying that about your dad and how he needs glasses cuz his eyes or whatever well im actually like half blind in my right eye. and i went to my doctors bout the pain and told him how it was in that eye so he had my go see my eye specialist...i havent gone yet...cuz the pain went away. so hopefully it will stay away! i also know about the whole working on computers my mom worked on a computer for a very long time and she was getting really bad head aches like that and also had to end up getting glasses cuz it messed with her eye vision...and also i sit on the computer alot and i get like that to and i get dizzy from it....i think sometime you just need to take a break from the computer lol. but i hope everything goes well with your dad!!!
