Hey AVR, I had a concussion I'm dealing with 6 1/h months ago and the head pains you're describing sound familiar. For me they were sharp and intense like mini bolts of lightning around where I got my injury.
From what I've come to know every concussion is different but from what I've learned from most people is that if it last more than a couple weeks it'll be a long road for recovery. Don't lose hope and let your family, friends and loved ones know what you're dealing with because they'll be your support during the recovery.
I had sharp pains all the time daily, usually triggered by sudden motion, for about 1-2 months. I found things like shoulder checking while driving, quickly moving your head or even things like coughing or sneezing triggered a cascade of em. Worst pain I'd had in my life. For me they did start getting milder after 2-3 months and now 6.5 months into recovery I notice getting them mildly maybe once a week or so only. Again usually triggered by sudden movement, which I've learned to try and keep to a minimum.
Given that I'm not a doc I can't really give much insight aside from what I've experienced but this site is definitely a great starting point to get ideas that might work for you and help alleviate/cope with symptoms during recovery. Rest and adjusting to your new condition to handle symptoms is key.
Hang in there and don't lose hope, we're all in this with ya as well.
