Tension headache : It frequently gives a discrete tender spot. Put a dollop of aspercrem right where it hurts. If you were much older i would check for temporal arteritis, an inflammation of the temporal artery.

Yes: Sharp, pain in one location can occur in migraine headaches and if of short duration, then they are referred to as "ice pick" headaches.
