Answer 2

This has happened to me also. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 2 years ago. And there is such a thing as Rheumatoid nodes that I have been having on my head. Which are very sore spots that last 2 or 3 months.

But one day my scalp felt like It had been hit with a 2x4. This wide strip across the top of my head. ???? No clue as to what caused it. It was gone the next day.

It was a curious thing, I know how you feel.

Answer 3

It is the same principle as with a headache or migraine....
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.
