The injury site on the head feels sore to touch
 
Sometimes I feel dull pain like feeling on the impact site. I am not sure if it can be called pain as it's extremely dull and it feels sore to touch or maybe I feel it because I am concentrating too much on that area, but there is certainly some sensitivity in that piece of bone in the skull I think. It's been almost 5 months since I hit my head on a concrete wall. Any similar experiences?

My head was sore to the touch, but as far as I know not actually at the point of impact. My head felt like it was bruised, so it hurt to push on it or touch it, and would have a dull ache or slight burning if I wasn't touching it.

The sensation was on the top of my head, where I am fairly certain I didn't actually hit. I fell off a horse and it is possible that I hit my head on the horse on the way down but I hit it on the ground for sure.

I would notice the pain becoming more intense after being overstimulated. Over time it gradually lessened and it took more stimulus to bring it on. I haven't felt it in about 3 months now, which would have been 21 months after my accident.

I'm not exactly sure where the point of impact was after my slip on the ice, as I only had a small scrape on my left cheek bone, but my left temple/above the ear has experienced at least some kind of sensation, ranging from a bad headache to the kind of dull sensation that might be considered pain that you describe, every hour every day since my fall. I've also experienced a similar sensation at the top of my head, where I nudged a car visor 5 days after my fall, although this isn't as constant, but even 6.5 months later I still have pain there.

I thought that everyone's headaches were localized (at least mostly) to where the impact was - is this not the case? I've gotten new headaches that aren't localized to places of impact since, but those only started a few months ago, and I still get the constant pain/sensation where the impacts were.

my soreness at injury site comes and goes. Pain all over comes and goes too. Sometimes i'll get a numb feeling on the top of my skull that goes straight down to tailbone. Sometimes arms and legs will burn. never a dull moment Being interested in science, I would like to know the reasons.

My soreness comes and goes too, had contusions on the top of my head but don't remember anything.

The headaches were basically all over though.
