I was wondering if anyone else has ever noticed tenders spots on their head? I was just touching a spot and it hurts really bad. I don't know why it would be tender I don't remember ever hitting it or being hit there. It's in an odd spot behind my ear too.
I have never noticed this before but was just wondering if it could possible be associated with how my headaches have been getting worse recently. Any advice helps, thanks. |

I was just reading up on head hurting to touch because my aunt is having this on the top of her head. Looks like it might be a specific type of headache which would make sense if your headaches are worse. Supposedly botox injections help. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the type of headache. Should have re-googled it before posting... hopefully your doctor can help you get relief!

Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances. Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident. The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful! My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better! |

Tenderness behind the ear can be a spasming muscle that connects to your upper neck. It can also be the cause of head aches. The C-1 (atlas) to occiput (base of skull) joint can be injured. There are also tendon anchoring points that can pull out and form a bone spur.
A physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) may be helpful or a Physical Therapist, too. My best to you.

A few weeks back I was experiencing what I described as scalp pain in just one spot near the top of my head. It has just very tender for days and then went away. It was about a two inch radius.

Hi Guys,
I have noticed tender spots on my head also. I have also noticed a few spots where it feels like it is indented. Like my bone and tissue have gone soft in a few areas and it dents in. Luckily my hair hides it or I think it would be noticeable to the eye as well as the touch. Does anyone else have these? Hope everyone had a good day. Mine sucked. Been at social security office all day starting a new disability claim. What fun that was.  Thanks, Brain

Yes I sometimes get them always associated with headaches. It can even make my eyes hurt as well.
