Pain between scalp and skull
Symptoms: Intermittent sharp pain on scalp becoming sharper if hair is pulled in that area. After 3 days feels bruised. Pain sometimes radiates to right in front of ear. This has happened 3-4 times before. Usually last a few days, then goes away for a while. Makes jaw feel a bit stiff. No rash or obvious changes in skin.
I don't take pain reliever, as the pain is not constant. It feels like a pin is being stabbed into a nerve on my scalp. Affected area is about the size of a silver dollar. I am 35 year old female - treated for 3 years for Hypothyroidism. Could this be caused by my Thyroid?
Answers:
I have very similar symptoms. I don't have a history to thyroid problems.
I have found that the tension in my jaw starts first, and as a result, I feel the same sharp pain in my scalp that feels worse if I pull my hair, which I do because it feels like pulling temporarily releases the tension, but also makes the pain worse afterwards - I can also relate to the bruising feeling.
The location of my pain is at the top of my head, right in the centre, and is also the size of about a silver dollar as you describe. My pain sometimes lasts for longer than 3-4 days, but it is also intermittent.
I clench my teeth at night while I sleep, and I believe, although I'm not sure, that the tension in my jaw from clenching my teeth contributes to this pain.
I would really like to know if there are others who suffer with this pain, and what you believe causes it.Have you ever seen a doctor for this?? You need to follow-up with a physician as it could be several things and then again, it could be nothing. TMJ, occipital neuralgia, etc., you really need to see your doctor for a final diagnosis. Do you take anti-inflammatorys? If so, does it relieve your symptoms?
