Head pain: Probably nothing to worry about. If the sharp pain went away and now there is a soreness or tenderness to touch, it sounds like it's getting better. Nerves in the scalp sometimes get irritated for no known reason. If you ever get a sudden, extremely severe headache with any weakness, loss of vision, numbness or vertigo, you should go to the er to be checked out.
