throbbing headache back of head?
Ok so basically I was playing hockey at the rink and I wound up for a very powerful shot and let it go, but right after, the back left of my head started throbbing. This was on Saturday, it is now Thursday going on Friday. I am scared to go to the doctor but I don't think its anything serious. It throbs whenever I get blood flowing (i.e. when I get up, when I walk around, etc.) and has a sharp pain when I move my head in certain ways. Could this be a muscle strain, or is it something more serious like AV fistula? I am 15 and male by the way.
Forgot to mention that no medication has worked so far, and I've been using the "magic-bag" that you microwave. I've tried ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, codeine, acetaminophen + codeine, nothing has worked so far.

1. AV fistula! NO! It is most likely a muscle strain...apply heat to the area and take your favorite over-the-counter pain med (Tylenol or ibuprofen if you are not allergic) every four to six hours as directed on the box. You should be fine. If this continues, please see a doctor.2. You should really see a doctor about this,it could be nothing serious but then again it could be.
Remember pain is usually the bodies way of letting you know something is wrong or to not do what you are doing (Like touching a hot stove)
