What causes nerve pain on top side of the head?
It's been 3 months that I have a slight pain on both sides of the head 3 inches above my ears, and top part of the head is very sensitive. The pain is manageable, seems like a nerve pain, and not inside my head. Been going to neurologist, ENT, chiro and internist, and they are baffled. There isn't a day that I don't feel any pain. I've been searching the website for clues about this symptoms, but no luck. Please help! I'm 32yo male and active in sports.
There are sutures in the skull which have membranes lining the joints..Whenever there is tenderness, it indicates there is torsion of the skull.. you can verify this just by pressing at the base of the skull and see how tender it is on one side. Why your chiropractor was unable to make this determination suggests he was asleep in class.. find another one but, call and discuss the problem on the phone and see if they understand what the problem is.
In order to have this problem, you would necessarily need to have some postural discrepancy evident. This problem progressed would eventually involve the jaw joint. Is common in TMJ.

this sounds like either a neck problem or an ear problem have it checked, i have had this pain in my ears a while ago and it did turn out to be a neck problem.

Stretching my neck frequently relieves all sorts of little pains … in my head, my arms, my back and , of course, my neck. For side and chin on chest positions, I rest a same side hand on my head (head to right shoulder, right hand lightly on head) for a little weight and better stretch. Do not push you head in any direction!! I try to do this at least once a day. Hope it helps.
