Sharp, painful pain in the head can mean?

What could this mean? pain in several areas of head?

  • for the last 3.5 weeks, there has been a pain in the base of my skull where the neck ends. The pain is a bit sharp and intensifies when i press. Also, there is a pain in the top of my head on the scalp only on the left side. It also hurts when i press but the pain is duller. When i press the other side of my head, i feel no pain or any unnormal sensation.

  • Answer:

    You have a tight muscle in your neck, and when you pushed on it, it hurt. Problem is, that muscle can show symptoms elsewhere, and it being a problem for three weeks suggests the muscle being tight as well. First site shows its location, and the reminder about symptoms being elsewhere. It's called Sternocleidomastoid Syndrome, and the second site tells about it. Third site shows a special stretch you need to learn and do. You should be able to do the same amount of rotation/elevation in both directions the video shows.

It means it is time to go and see your doctor........................... stop being a fool and book an appointment........... it could be as simple as an infection, or your eyes need testing, but whatever it is 3.5 weeks is 3 weeks too long....................................…

its normal to have more BMs; when your baby has dropped, the pressure is also normal because your baby is low so will be putting more wieght on that area. the cramping could bea sign that you will naturally go into labor before monday. my cramps got worse right before my son was born. good luck and congrats!!
