stabbing pain on eyebrow region

I have been reading all your comments and I had a headache all day about 5 days ago and ever since then I also have had the stabbing pain just above my right eye brow. I have tried all kinds of pain medication but not yet have seen a doctor. I thought at first it was just a sinus headache but now I know there is something wrong. The pain varies in intensity. I am going to see a doctor in a couple days on my next day off of work. Any suggestions until then?
Ps. I put a ice pack on the spot that hurts and it helps a little bit but I cant walk with ice on my head 24-7 Plz help thank you in advance

In relation to the first post (and the plane related), check out BAROSINUSITIS.

Even though the first post doesn't mention altitude changes there may be a related cause.

Lately when I swim under water I start to get a pain behind the left eyebrow. This pain starts mild, but increases to a severe stabbing pain at which point I have to surface. I began to think of it as a possible equalisation issue and so experimented with holding my nose and blowing (as divers do) and the pain went away.

Today I googled it and found a post on an aviation web site that mentioned the barosinusitis. Bingo!

I have the pain behind the Eye too and it is unbearable Also my eye had pain it. So my dad told me maybe it congestion behind it so he gave me a washcloth with hot water on it and low and be hold that helped my eye but soon after my eyebrow was beginning to hurt so I got the washcloth hot again then I put it over my Eyes and my eyebrow. For me it helped a lot I know it might not be the answer but its better buying pills or going to a doctor who both you got to pay for. I hope this helps. I got Idea that might help it be cured but that's just a idea That I haven't tried. Its up to you I can't promise anything but if the pain is caused by infection or impurities then cutting a area around the eyebrow or on it just a little lol. Then get that stuff that draws infection or impurities out on a wash cloth then put it on the cut. This Is just a Idea but if it works then post a reply on this thread.

Hi Y'all, I had the same type of pain, first started in a flight from Texas to NYC, was so stressed, had to go to NYU and take an MRI, I was scared to death.

The headaches continued, just on the right eyebrow area, and it was very bad. I tried several methods, but none seems to help.

My doctor prescribed me Flonase (Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray) it has steroids, but doesn't mix with blood, so no issues. It completely helped my headaches !!

So please try that spray for the headaches...

Well I'm both relieved and disheartened that I'm not the only one suffering from this ridiculous pain.
I'm not sure if this helps or maybe gives further insight as to the cause, but I first started feeling these pains during sexual intercourse six hours ago and it hasn't gone away since. I can't sleep and I'm almost certain I've awoken my partner multiple times while shifting positions or suddenly slamming my brow as another wave of pain arises. If anyone over the last few years has found any cure or aid it would be very much appreciated.

I know this is an older thread but for anyone that reads this and is getting headaches, specifically over the eyes, this is classic for gallbladder problems. Usually people will have digestive issues such as gas and bloating after meals, burping, and inability to tolerate fats but gets headaches over the eyes and right eye. Either talk to your doctor or sometimes it is a sluggish gallbladder and needs nutrients found in beets called betaine. Start juicing beets, carrots, spinach and apples and take 2 products called Betaine Hydrochloride and Beta TCP or Beta Plus.

Wow. I'm so sorry that all of you experience this agony. I started having migraines 3 years ago. Before then I was active - never stopped~ Now, I have migraines 3 or 4 times a month lasting 3 full days. Nothing prescribed or over the the counters works. If they do work, it's only temporarily. It's devasting and has changed my entire life - corporate job, gone. Working out 4x a week, gone. I trust my husband of 2 years will be gone soon too. In addition to the excruciating pain, blurred vision, eye socket pressure, vomiting, numbness in hands etc. this last migraine included what I can only describe as shotgun sounds inside my head (repetively about 7 times) As I was lying down (these knock me to my bed for days) I was awakened by that sound (almost unbearable to listen to noise level of the sound- I opened my eyes and looked around. I tried to call my husband and couldn't speak. I tried to lift my arm to hit the nightstand and was barely able to do so. After about a minute I sat up - tried to "get a grip" of what just occured...then went back to the normal migraine pain. Has anyone ever experienced this? SCARY. I wish to God and pray often that there will be a natural cure for migraines soon. Oh and I now suffer with depression due to these migraines..... God Bless and Good luck to us all : )

Hi I had these same pains for a year or two. I determined that is was blockages in these different pathways between the bones (nerve pathways, circulatory system or even lymph nodes). I found that directly massaging the most painful areas was the most effective way to "work away" the blockages, and opening up these impeded areas. Massaging these spots often proved to be painful itself, and that led me to believe that these very blockages and impairments of flow (blood, nerve, lymph?) in these passageways (whichever connective tissue they are related back to) often require PAIN in order to REMOVE the pain. The congestion in these areas warns us WITH PAIN to indicate to us that something is wrong in that area. So then it would make sense that these blocked areas are harboring (or storing) PAIN. And when you you directly engage these areas, the pain is evident, and is actually the guide to help tell you that you have directly located where the pain is "hiding." When you hit that painful spot, you've found the blockage -- the impairment. I don't believe these things just naturally GO AWAY as some people think (with medication), because that would also neglect how the pain settled there to begin with. I would say focus, on opening these channels by removing the roadblocks. There are so many energetic pathways in the body system, and many of them seem to follow the nerve/circulatory/lymph pathways (conveniently) or are in fact, shoring up in either or all of these very pathways. So if the pain FOUND itself there, let's not discourage the idea of directly "breaking it up". After all, with age we're always told our body will start to "seize up" and blockages such as these might be those cumulative "hardening" or "calcifying" or "turn to stone" effects of letting these successive "take hold" in our system. And to just have courage and endure some of the pain of removing them as well. I haven't had trouble after I "BROKE UP" the calcified spots of mine in these connective tissue/circulatory system through those channels around my outer eyebrows and base of skull (and still a lot of swollen/hardened lymph nodes in my neck I am now currently working on, in the progression of working all of these blocked areas and opening them up again). I personally think it was old dietary deposits that are indicating that they want to finally want "out" (like from homogenized dairy or something, they way Mooville explains -- it's one explanation anyway). Good luck, it is a "painful" proposition to take care of these spots (to break them up WITHOUT medication) but I am happy to say that it is worth it, and the pain comes back a lot less, and for me at this point -- WAY less. And I'm happy when it does, because it is just shedding light on the "final spots" I still have to work on.

Most of the time with it gobble slush ( crushed ice in juice) I get the shooting pain under my right eyebrow next to my nose. Since yesterday I am getting this pain off and on without any valid reason.

I thought it might be helpful for the discussion in this thread to post this:

Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH), also known as Sjaastad syndrome, is a severe debilitating unilateral headache usually affecting the area around the eye. It normally consists of multiple severe, yet short, headache attacks affecting only one side of the cranium. It is more commonly diagnosed in women than in men, but, unlike a migraine, has no neurological symptoms associated with it.

If CPH is the diagnosis, unlike other NSAIDs, indomethacin is particularly effective as a treatment.

Best wishes.
