Scalp pain related to neck pain

by claud_mike, Jul 22, 2008 12:43AM
This is not a question but a comment. I experienced severe scalp pain with sore pressure points, shooting pains and throbbing pain but no visible signs of injury or illness. I also had a sore neck with trouble turning my head.

My doctor could not diagnose anything wrong and could only prescribe stronger painkillers. I went to 3 doctors in 5 days for help with no answer. They couldn't see anything or feel anything on the surface.

I got 'it's not shingles"  and "it could be an inflamed cebaceous cyst" and "it's a form of neuralgia". The sore neck was an inflamed thyroid gland or due to poor posture at work.

I realise this is a medical website but the answer for anyone with a similar condition is that it was a neck problem - i went to a physiotherapist who pinpointed the problem straight away. He felt my neck and straightaway located all the sore points on my head. It was amazing.

He did some head twists and muscle pops and wow! After 1/2 hour, i could turn my head again and for the first time in 10 days I didn't need painkillers to sleep.

So don't just look for a medical answer. Look at your body as a whole - it is all connected.
