Neuralgia: It sounds like nerve pain, in the face you can get what is called Trigeminal neuralgia, a painful condition. Consult with neurologist to find out the cause and treatment.

Proper diagnosis 1st: 32 year old male gets pins and needles sensation from the back of left side of skull that travels to left eye and jaw possibly due to Cluster Headache which tends to occur more often in younger men than in females. Could also be Facial Nerve Pain AKA Trigeminal Neuralgia or even Migraine headache. If pain not relieved by simple Analgesics should see PCP or Neurologist for proper diagnosis first.
