Originally, the pain was a horible clenching pressure on the brain.
Now it feels like a metal spike lodged in the roof of my mouth which gets worse when I lie down. If it gets bad enough, the head hurts. And an injury or big stress gets the head hurting. Maybe this has to do with the tooth nerve damage I got 1.5 years ago. Overall, I like this pain much more than the early stages. If you respond, thank you. Hope you are all healing well. May God's healing touch cover you all. |

Hi Jeffrey, The pain I experience in my head is ever changing...I have noticed a pattern when I get stressed....a LOT of pressure, almost like someone has put my head in a vice... When I wake in the morning, it's pressure in the back of my head...then it moves around...temples, top of head (with electrical like sensation) and the "ice pick" feeling of where I sustained the injury is always there. That, also, varies in intensity. The site of injury (after 18months) is still very sensitive to touch. I've found that many things exacerbate my symptoms (light, sound, stress) but few make me feel better...rest and time are my only vices at the moment... I can relate about "liking this pain better"...I prefer the all over, temple throbbing as opposed to the pressure...and I definitely do NOT like the feeling of being smacked in the back of my head with a shovel...exactly what stress makes me feel like...

July 21, 2010, one month after starting my new job I sustained a concussion after standing up quickly from a sqatting position and subsequently being impaled by the corner of a metal filing cabinet in to the left side of my skull. Dx. Post Concussive Syndrome. Female, 45 years young . Mom of 3 boys (22,19,10)..Registered Nurse 16 years . Symptoms: Vertigo, difficulty concentrating, unable to multitask, fatigue, severe transient headaches..severity and location change frequently, anxiety, PTSD, tinnitus, "electrical like sensations" across the top of my head, "hot flashes", numbness and coolness to hands (worsens in A/C), very poor recall ability, processing and comprehension, difficulty finding words and completing thoughts, short term memory is awful. ~I will never give up on myself~ ~I run because I can. When I get tired, I remember those who can't run, what they'd give to have this simple gift I take for granted, and I run harder for them...I know they would do the same for me <3 |

Mine was all over the place for the first few months: forehead, top of head, eyes, back of eyes, back of head.
Now it's mostly in my forehead when I have headaches, which isn't every day (more like every OTHER day) :-/
