Today suddenly I experienced sharp burning pain of scalp and severe soreness of skull over the
right parietal and right posterior occiputal area--about the size of a silver dollar.The duration of the
pain was about six hours and finally was relieved with Orphenadrine 100mg ER and Tylenol #3 tab 2.
Was I having a parathesia episode? The color of my scalp did not change. The pain was not
constant put continued in waves. Pain level at #7-9. My anterior vertebrae fused themselves
spontaneously quite a few years ago. (I;m 72 female) The posterior foreamen is not stenosed.
I have no numbness in my arms. My neck is stiff, but has been in that condition for awhile.
I have had CT scans in the past of head, brain, sinuses. Can't have MRI because of the old
type of hemiclips made of stainless steel. I have had a total thyroidectomy l984 for Graves
Disease, am on Synthroid 0.2 mg. I have an elevated BP (controlled with Meds) I am a
type 2 Diabetic (controlled). Had Cholecystectomy, Appendectomy, Total Hysterectomy
with bilat. S&O. Right Hemicolectomy (ischemic mass--no CA) Right Partial Mastectomy
for CA insitu-ductal, and invasive ductal CA had 35 Radiation Treatments. No CA in
axilla. Well, that is a short summary of my medical history. Hope you can give me some
input re: Scalp and skull pain and burning. Thank you DeeDee72
