Are you experiencing a throbbing sensation in your head or brain that's hard to describe?
Yes, this is something many people with fibromyalgia experience. Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain throughout the body, including the head and scalp. The pain can feel like throbbing, aching, or even like your scalp is bruised or tender to touch.
Some common head-related symptoms include:
- Scalp tenderness and sensitivity
- Pain at the base of the skull
- Tender points in the neck and face muscles
- Headaches and migraines
- A sensation that even touching your hair or wearing a hat hurts
The throbbing you're feeling could be related to tender points in your head and neck muscles, or it might be connected to the way fibromyalgia affects how your brain processes pain signals.
A MyFibroTeam member shared: "Having a bad time with my painful scalp. Hurts to touch and have vertigo!"
If the throbbing is severe or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider to rule out migraines or other issues and explore treatment options that might help.
