sharp stabbing pain in my head

Can anyone tell me why or if they have ever had very sharp shooting pain in the top of the head? The pain is always in the same spot on top of my head and leaves a tender spot when the pain goes away. My Dr tells me it's a form of Ceryabl Palsy but I can't find any information anywhere. He said and I quote "It's not the bad kind of Palsy, don't worry"..........okay!!!!!!!
Does anyone else have this problem and what have you found out if you do.
