my right shoulder keeps going numb and tingly, I have these stabbing pains when I change postural positions, and I have totally random shooting pain behind my left ear, on top of my head, and in my right forehead that lasts only seconds each time, but can happen up to 30x a day. It's all new in the last year or so.

Also I did go to a doctor and she told me that since I didn't want to take Medication I must either be exaggerating or lying about it altogether. I want to discover the root of these pains and headaches rather than mask the symptoms by taking meds ):

You need to go to a neurologist

unfortunately the doc said neurologists no longer see patients for headaches anymore since people can get treatment online for that 🙃

They will know what tests to send you for

Sounds like it's time to find a new doc! It dosen't take a neurologist to see these aren't just headaches. And if by some chance they are, surely 30x a day is worth some sort of attention! Maybe it would be worth a shot to speak with them about a pinched nerve? I had similar symptoms with mine. I've read it helps to ask them to note down that they've personally chosen not to perform tests such as an Mri too, but haven't had to try that before. Hopefully you get the help you deserve! Goodluck, timber.
