Question 1

What can i do to reduce the pain i have that is on top of my ears due to new glasses?

Accepted Answer

The discomfort you are feeling is due to glasses that are either too heavy or too snug. Be sure to test other glasses and find ones that feel comfortable after at least 5-10 minutes of wear in the doctor's office before purchasing them. You may be able to exchange your glasses for a new pair; ask the doctor who sold them to you.

Question 2

I have indentations on the back of my head right above my ears. when ever they appear i have a massive headache. not due to glasses as they are new.

Accepted Answer

your headaches are consistent with a spasm in the temporalis muscles. The back edge (posterior border) of the muscle is approximately where you describe. I a tense contracted state or spasm it will puff up and protrude hence the bump. Do you happen to clench or grind your teeth? Consult with a dentist who can make appropriate diagnosis and treatment recommendations or referral.

Question 5

Tension headache so bad i have to wear my glasses on the outside of my ears. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Seems that there are a few possibilities here. Consider TMJ dysfunction (check with dentist), consider temporal artery tenderness (but usually older folks with temporal arteritis), perhaps a neuralgia associated with ear (nervous intermedius neuralgia).  Might see a local neurologist.

Question 6

Why do i get a headache when i were glasses or a headband? it seems to come from where they hit behind my ears

Accepted Answer

It sounds like the glasses or headband are irritating the muscles around the ears. The temporalis muscles are in front and in back of the ears. Some people are more sensitive and compression by glasses or a headband may cause these to tighten and lead to pain. You may try adjusting the tension on the glasses or headband or decrease the amount of time wearing them.
