Sided.  Kip scale 5-6.  Shooting pains into the jaw. Both sides of my head are bruised or sore.  
 
The one on the right side has been there since Friday afternoon with about 4 breaks of 5-6 hours.
 
The one on the left side just started.
 
HELP.  Any suggestions, comments welcom. Shocked

What meds are you taking?
 
This sounds like you may be rebounding.

2-3 verapamils per day.  The last week I have had to take 4-6 esgics per day.  Do you think it could be the esgic's rebounding?

Elaborate on the 2 - 3 verapamils per day.  Verap is a not a "pop one as needed" kind of drug.  It is a preventative that needs to be ramped up to and maintained at a certain level to be effective.  
 
Esgic is butalbital and acetaminophen - neither of which are effective for stopping a ch attack.  If you are popping 4 - 6 of these per day, I would bet you are having a rebound, aka medication overuse headache.  The only way to get rid of it is to stop taking the offending med until the headache goes away.  
 
Good luck.
