Anyone know why my scalp would hurt? Even the wind blowing hurts sometimes. It tingles, gets almost numb.?

Question

Last night the pain woke me up a lot. Some days it doesn't hurt. I used to think it was tension from my ponytail but I don't wear my hair up anymore. Please help

Answer 1

could be temporal arteritis. go and see your doctor soon. the worst complication is blindness

Answer 2

Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

Answer 3

I had the same thing happening to me and still now at times. It's a strange feeling as if I something hit me really hard and now it is very tender to the touch. I feel it only at the crown of my scalp(the highest point). Sometimes it will be very tender, and at times it won't hurt at all. Below are links that i've found as scary as it may sound, it's a start to getting answers. I would in your case see a doctor if possible. If you have medical insurance, take advantage of it. I wish that I would have when I had it!
