Pain on Left Side Head on wearing Cap/Turban

Hi,

I am suffering from extreme head throbbing type pain on specifically wearing cap/turban from the last 6 months.

This pain starts early in the morning when I wake up and can be felt on touching my head.

Also I am feeling tightness and irritation on wearing cap/turban. This pain also spreads sometime to teeth and face.

I am not able to properly concentrate on my work while this pain arises due to pressure on head.

Please suggest whether these are symptoms of Migraine or what type of headache is it?

CT Scan and Blood tests are found normal.

I am not able to recover from this disease even after taking several antidepressants whereas I don't feel any tension/anxiety as well as taking several pain killers.

Even doctors tried antibiotics, mood stabalizers and Carbamazepine but nothing helped.

Please Suggest.

how long did you take the Carbamazepine for? Did you stay on it for a number of weeks? Did it help at all?

If Carbamazepine is not treating and diminishing your pain there are many others to try. If you are unsure of them try looking in the Face Pain Info tab at the top of the page and discuss the options there with your GP. We sometimes have to try a few before we find one that suits. I have tried some which did not work at all, unfortunately. keep us all posted! Jackie.
