what could be causing such pain
by marymat, Feb 09, 2009 07:57PM
I am experiencing a sharp, shooting pain on the top of my scalp. It is located wear the part in the hair begins. It was a sharp, shooting pain that would come and go but be very sharp! It seemed to last about 10-15 seconds. It would come and go but not very often, until this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday of this past weekend I experienced this pain more intense and more frequent. My scalp is so tender now and very sore to touch. I read about neuralgia but it seems that would be near the bottom of the scalp not on top.

Your symptoms are very suggestive of trigeminal neuralgia. This manifests as pain in the scalp, forehead, and eyes. Lips, nose and jaw may also be involved. Therefore trigeminal neuralgia can occur in the front aspect of scalp also so it is very likely that your symptoms are due to trigeminal neuralgia.
Please get a clinical evaluation done at your earliest and try and identify a trigger for these attacks.
Thanks
