I can tell you that you can cancel out sinus, because sinus pain is usually referred to as a inner pressure like pain like there is an inside force pushing out creating a pressure in the ears and deep inside around the eyes, cheek bones and nose, this type of pain is increased with taping over these areas with your finger tips, meaning it would be sinus related. It could possibly be eye strain, eye stains generally cause headaches and pulsating pain in the back of the eyes, sides and back of the scalp, which can also refer down the back of the neck. Piercing pains can often be joint related, muscle or nerve related, so in this case it seems more nerve related, therefore possibly eye strain. Does he have any seeing difficulties?? and has he seen an Optometrist?? Find out when it gets worse and what relieves it and you'll discover more of an idea of why its happening and what it could be stemming from. If it was muscular related, it would most likely be active "trigger points" in the SCM (sternocliedomastoid) muscles, (the big muscles on either side of the front of the neck) which sends referral pain patterns around the eyes, temples, and forehead.

My partner suffers from a kind of piercing pain and the docs cannot find out why. He thinks it could be sinus problems or eye strain but is not sure. Hi
