Pain on top of my skull for the last year

[deedee30]

I have had a pain on the top of my skull for the last year. No I have not hit my head, also it is not a headache. It's my actual skull. The pain is a dull pain, if I press on it it feels good, any sort of pressure on it feels better. I almost feel like getting the flat part of a hammer and pressing it on the spots as hard as possible. My husband rubs my head for me everyday and his hands get sore because I could have him rub my head forever..and he presses as hard as possible and I could still have him press harder if he could and it wouldn't hurt.. Has anyone ever heard of this or does anyone have this like me? All the topics like this I've read the person has headaches or it is accompanied by pain down their face, I have neither of these..Just a very dull pain on the top part and sides of my skull..please help>>

I have a similar problem that's been going on for about a month now - Just dull pains and tense spots on my skull.  No headaches associated although, at times, it gets to me and I think I give myself partial anxiety attacks.  Anyways, I've seen 3 different doctors about this problem and the last one, who seemed to be the most knowledgable, said it could have something to do with neck muscle strain, which I have slight problems with.  Something to consider if you have any neck problems.
