Question 1

what causes sharp pain in eye?

Accepted Answer

Ideas : There are several things to think about, but probably the most common is dry eyes. Artificial tears used 4 to 6 times a day helps to alleviate this symptom. Other ideas require more of an exam. Eyelid inflammation, corneal surface diseases, viral diseases, some medications can exacerbate surface related pain, and some unusual neurological causes just to name a few. An exam will help to figure out.

Question 2

sharp pain in eye and bloodshot when bending down, what is it?

Accepted Answer

No way to tell: Your need an ophthalmic eye exam to evaluate this.  Not enough information to tell.

Question 3

sharp pain in eye and throbbing very painful and i tried flushing out but not working.

Accepted Answer

Scratch ?: You may have a scratched cornea, an abrasion, or even a foreign body, all of which would not just be "flushed" out with water or an eye irrigant. It is best for you to have a quick care MD check out your eyes (after hours I presume) and they can tell you what's going on. If the doctor needs an ophthalmologist to see you, arrangements can be made. Good luck.

Question 4

i have a sharp pain in my head, right side. its from the top of the top jaw going straight up. like a sharp needle. and it hurts to a point that if im standing, i need to sit down. it started recently, already happened like 7 times.

Accepted Answer

Urgent Medical check: Severe persistent headache can be due to a serious intracranial cause such as Bleeding. This requires immediate medical check up  as it is an emergency, so I would advise you to go to ER today and get checked. A CT scan of the brain is required . Migraine can also be the cause of severe persisting headache. If you have any fever that too makes it a serious problem such as meningitis. Urgent medica

Question 7

suffering from headache, left side of face actually feels tight and tender almost like pins and needles, sharp pain in head?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Most people get a headache at some time, such as from colds, infections, lack of sleep, too much driving, long hours on the computer, stress at work, etc... A bad or increasing headache, recurrent headache, weird headache, or one with other worrisome symptoms (such as facial symptoms in this case) needs to be examined by a doctor. The nerve to the face area may be involved.

Question 8

frequent sinus headaches, occasional sharp pain in right ear, feels like something in right eye, pain in jaw and back of head/neck.  what is this?

Accepted Answer

See your Dentist: You need to see a dentist or oral surgeon immediately. Without radiographs and a physical exam, it is impossible to say what is causing this pain.
You could have one of the following issues: impacted wisdom tooth, infected tooth, sinus infection, fractured jaw, neuralgia, or a tumor. 
It sounds like a tooth issue, but your dentist can help diagnosos your problem.
