You have sinuses all over your head and behind the ears, jaw line, temple area are your main areas of feeling pains of twitches, shallow aches, or sporadic pain. These areas are very small sinuses and it is hard for these areas to drain unlike the nose. The pain could be sinus related - even if you have never suffered sinuses we all have them in some degree - Your body changes every seven years and for some people they get new symptoms that they have never experienced and lose others. The sinuses behind the ear/back of neck are so small that for them to drain it would be like taking a straw and filling the straw with water then putting your finger on it to stop it from dripping. It would take a long time for the straw to discharge all the water. This is exactly what your sinuses are going through. If you are still worried then see a doctor, but you may want to try sinus medication or sinus headache relief medicine first.

I wish I knew, too. I have the exact same symptom in my left ear/neck. Sudden, sharp. Only connection I have found is that I tend to break out in hives with a day or two after the pain occurs-- which leads me to believe I am having some sort of allergic reaction to a food. Do you have any food Allergies?

Generally shooting any piece of furniture with a caterpillar can cause shoulder pain. There was not enough information in your question as to the method of shooting. If you loaded the caterpillar into a shotgun it is likely that the "kick" of the gun caused the pain. If you used a slingshot you may have potentially torn your rotator cuff.
