Numbness in the back of the skull.

[Anita648]

I have just started have a pain and numbness in the back of my skull.  When I touch the area, painfull (Like an ache).
Sometimes I get a sharp pain going down to my neck, then it stops.  There is nothing else wrong, just this. I dont feel sick in anyway.  I havent had a bump on the head.
Please Advise.

How are you? Anita.

I have a different opinion, I think you probably suffered occipital neuralgia due to soft tissue injuries on neck.

Best wishes!

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis etc. Please consult an orthopedic specialist or a neurologist.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
