Nicky, I don't remember if my scalp hurt that first time, but over the years I too have had that shedding many times and YES my scalp not only hurt, but just lightly pushing on my hair felt like needles...what do you think causes that?! I know as the hair starts to grow in you can feel the prickly stubble when you run you fingers lightly over the scalp, but this is different like you said and it hurts. I never mentioned that to my doctor or anyone for that matter untill now. Guess I thought I was the only one! So glad you mentioned it, thanks.

Hugs,
Pat
