Does losing one's hair (from chemotherapy) cause head pain?

How are you? Chemotherapy side effects, and the severity of side effects, vary from person to person. Most side effects disappear once treatment has stopped. Common side effects of chemotherapy aside from the hair loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue are pain which include mouth sores, headaches, muscle pain, shooting pains in fingers or toes. It is best that you tell your doctor which chemotherapy side effects you may experience so that  they may be managed effectively.

Take care and keep us posted.

When I loss my hair as a result of chemo, I didn't have head pain.  I did, however, have a weird, sensitive, tingling sensation when my hair was falling out.  That went away once the hair was all gone.
