for the last few months everyday ive been getting a really bad burning headache on the top of my head, it feels like i have been hit over the head, my scalp feels so tender. i also get a headache behind one eye every now and then. does anyone know what this could be?
sounds like cluster headache. i hear they cause intense pain especially in the eye! try seeing a doctor to get something to relieve the pain.
how long does it last for?
Hey Jesss, Sounds like a neuralgia I have it bad. Headaches, pain behind your eye. You can get it from an accident, whiplash, teeth being pulled, chiropractor, feels like you were hit.Scalp is very tender, hard to brush hair or teeth. There are 2 kinds. One called occimial neuralgia and the one where your face hurts is Trigemintal neuralgia. Horrible. Living with it for 2 1/2 yrsNeed compression surgery but i hurt too much to travel to get it doneLook on youtubesounds like what you might have Let me know if any of the videos sound like you.
thank you for your reply, i’ve just had a look online for that and it sounds exactly like my symptoms! only im not too sure how its happened as ive not injured my head/neck recently. what pain killers help? nothing is helping me atm. cant get into the doctors until monday xx
everyday for about 3/4 hours x
Hey Jess, Well you can try ibuprofen Take like 3 at a time when your bad. Since you need a prescription for anything else i hate to say that’s it. Ice pack or heating pads, what you think helps the best. The ibuprofen sometimes helps as much as the prescription drugs but you can’t just take one Don’t be afraid to take what the full amount your bottle says. I know how bad they can get. It’s really bad for me when i see zaps of light too.. Let me know when you go to the doctors.A lot of people say how they got it on that site on facebook , little accidents and some don’t know how they got it, Even just having a cell phone or computer does it from looking down constantly does itIt’s keeping your neck in a certain position for a while or even just turning your head. Theirs going to be a lot of people in the future getting it from looking at the screen. Keep me posted ok. I have baclafen that helps the spasms & percale for pain but they don’t give you much because it’s addicting. They also gave me gabapentin (sorry if spelled wrong) & an anti inflammatory Going again to a neurologist the 3rd an orthopedist for my back and shoulders on the 17th. I’ll let you know what meds the doctors suggested. Pain management really just gives you meds then pushes procedures. i hope not to get one but we’ll see, i can’t live like this i had about 3 good days in a year.So i’ll be in touch and you be K??
Just remember your not alone and your not crazy and not dying ( i sure felt like i was). And on that site the people are great. Your never a problem asking questions and always a place where people can vent Check out both kinds of neuralgia’s .I think your doctor is going to send you for tests like an MRI of your brain and when i went to the er, they all came back normal. It doesn’t show up on reg test, there aren’t any that show it. You can do exercises.check out youtube for them lots of chiropractors are on there for that. Oh and even walking can do it if you don’t hold your shoulders back and keep your head centered with your body, not hunched over. . ugh..
yeah its honestly the worst thing ever, its constant and im really struggling to concentrate at work and struggling to sleep. i work on computers which doesnt help. hopefully the doctors will be able to help, but my doctors are pretty useless and i just hope its not months of test. hope you find relief soon xx
Hello,
I have the exact same symptoms for 8 months now. Have you gotten better?
I was told it was optical neuralgia, he gave me Naproxen to take 2 day and it really helps!! its not gone away but helps with the pain x
Thank you for responding. I was told I didnt have neuralgia. However I thought I had some type of neuralgia because of the burning pain.
hey Jess,
have you tried feverfew or boswellia?
Possibly Occipital neuralgia. Look it up. Ibuprofen stops the pain. See if it works for you.
800 mg, more if needed to get rid of pain. Works for me.
Hi Jess, Pain killers keep it away for day or two and it is back, I could write a lot but I’ll cut it short. take vitamin B12 and B1. One each a day. if you find that this works please don’t take more than 1. It worked for me after 14 years of burning head!
My name is Anthony, I am not the type to get involved in online forums and chats, but I know your pain and how you feel and after how I have felt lately I could not keep this to myself and if what I am about to share with you helps you, I hope you will find the time to share it with others.
I have suffered headaches and weird hot, burning feeling inside my head for over 14 years, it was hard to get used to I couldn’t get used to it, it was painful, it affected my mood, activities and even relationships. My days without a headache was a good day, I gave up a lot of food (Gluten especially) and other things I thought would trigger it, my head gets very hot from inside I and my head became very sensitive I couldn’t wear a hat or a head warmer in winter, it came down to my neck, I wake up every other day with my neck locked.
It felt like whatever it is, it is now starting to work its way downwards from my head.
I have seen my doctor and others about this but he could not figure out what the problem was, I have had blood tests that came back all clear, I knew it was more than that but perhaps not as simple as I found.
GET YOURSELF VITAMIN B12 AND B1 … TAKE ONE OF EACH A DAY.
The first day I took these, I felt a tingling sensation all over my body all day especially my head, it began to cool down I could feel it, like a dry land getting its first drops of rain after years. I went to bed woke up the next day and I felt brand new, now, everyday I can’t wait for another 24hrs before taking my next one, it’s only been 2 weeks for me, NO MORE HEADACHES, NO MORE PRESSURE IN MY HEAD, NO MORE NECK PAIN/ STIFFNESS, I HAVE TRIED EATING PASTRIES AND I AM TOTALLY FINE, I HAVE WORN A HAT FOR A WHOLE DAY AND IT FELT SO GOOD.
****Vitamin B₁₂, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body: it is a cofactor in DNA synthesis, and in both fatty acid and amino acid metabolism.
*****Thiamine, also known as thiamin or vitamin B₁, is a vitamin found in food, and manufactured as a dietary supplement and medication. Food sources of thiamine include whole grains, legumes, and some meats and fish.
Vitamin Bs are like the oil engine your body needs to function properly, if it dries up, the car still runs but with a lot of risks.
Prior to now, I have looked online for help, now that something has worked for me, though it’s only been 2 weeks, but 2 weeks of pain-free days after 14 years is something I am more than happy about.
PLEASE TRY THIS AND SHARE YOUR STORY TOO LETS HELP OTHERS, THIS IS NOT A RANDOM ARTICLE COPIES AND PASTED I WROTE EVERYTHING, I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON CHIROPRACTOR LIKE YOUR SELF. I HOPE THIS REALLY WORK FOR YOU AS IT HAS DONE FOR ME.
THANK YOU
Your body is short of Viatamin B1 and B12, please get them, they are so cheap, it worked for me and I intend to share the gospel. please reply if you see any changes, it will make me so happy, lets share this gospel.
