Lately I get twinges of dull pain beneath scalp that are about a 2 in pain that get my attention Upper right back side of my head, it is really weird . I dont get dizziness, or any lightheadedness. My vision is fine. It somewhat is nerve pain I suspect? But with a family history of alzheimers it is getting my attention. Sometimes it is tingling dull pain.
Hello, That makes sense. Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, pain follows a particular pattern for what is involved and the pattern implies what is wrong. One patch of scalp wouldn't necessarily fit with a common problem. AND, the top nerve of the spine in the neck runs up the back of the head. This is a common nerve to be pinched. neck x rays would confirm it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
