Has anyone else found that their head is extremely sensitive to the touch? I find that if anyone touches my hair or head, it hurts, like the nerve endings are super sensitive. I even have a hard time having my hair pulled back even if its a loose elastic. I had acupuncture today and she was touching my head trying to find certain points to place the needles and it was really tough having her touching my head and tonight i have another raging headache from all the touching.

Yes, It took weeks before I let anyone really touch my head. A year and a half later I can count the people that have touched it.

I can imagine the headache you have

And the hair thing- I had that too. I had to wear my hair down for several months, even had to chop a lot of it off because of the pain. No elastics.

I never thought that I would be so excited to wear my hair up or wear a hat. Lol!

It has slowly gotten better, but I'm still really sensitive if anyone is near my head.

yes...definately sensitive. My neuro (headache specialist) asked me if my head is sensitive...says many migrane suffers complain of this. Mine is definately sensitive. But, I LOVE when my boys rub my head -- it feels so good.

I have the same thing. It has been sensitive from the day i hit. (which was 2.5 years ago). And if i touch it too much i get a headache. I can't even where pony tails in my hear anymore because it pulls on that spot.

Yes. The part of the skull where I got hit has got a dull constant pain and is very sensitive to touch

hey Galaxy, ** I still have soreness and pain on head after all this time but I have had a bunch of head injuries. the pulsatile tinnitus is more annoying than the pain.

Yes, my head is sensitive where I fell on it. I don't like anyone to touch it and I no longer tie my hair up either.

I also don't like to have my hair cut, I used to have it done every 8 weeks like clock work, now I wait as long as possible (right now its been over 4 months) ... I always make sure I wash it before I go to get it cut so they don't have to do that part. I know some people enjoy the head scrubbing / massage stuff, but I want no part of that, thankyouverymuch!

I hate when I go to the doctor and they always want to poke at the spot I hit... they never start lightly and work up from there, they always start hard and then when I flinch and say OW THEN they back off! I always warn them ahead of time that its tender, but its like they don't believe me until they poke it hard.

I like to wear a loose fitting hat for a light layer of protection when I'm out doing stuff, plus I get the added bonus of the brim to shield from the light. But tight fitting hats... NO WAY!!

Is it the blood vessels pain or skull pain?

It is often the nerves in the skin and soft tissue. They get pinched against the skull during the impact. They can take a long time to heal.

I had problems from my head injury years ago. It left a lump and I was always aware that it hurt when I brushed my hair or touched my scalp. Eventually that feeling faded.

I had another fall and head injury 4 weeks ago and it's sore from the cut and where it was stitched still but the most noticeable thing is that it's almost as if the hair follicles have suddenly been sent off in the wrong direction. So apart from my skull actually still hurting and I still have another lump, anything touching it hurts. Mostly when the wind blows my hair it hurts.

I think in my case it's a combination of the lump still going down and also the cuts still healing and the fact that there's something weird going on with the hair follicles. It's not really really bad pain as such, it's a more of a sensation. Hard to explain.
