Accepted Answer

Possibly: among many other possibilities: fungal infection, bacterial infection, excessive perspiration etc.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Aneurysm: It would be highly unlikely for a cerebral aneurysm to cause local scalp symptoms. Those symptoms are more likely peripheral nerve symptoms.

Question 3

c5-c6 left paracentral broad-based disc bulge cause arm pain/tingling? scalp tingling?

Accepted Answer

Dermatomes: A dermatome map will demonstrate that the C5/6 herniation can cause tingling, numbness, weakness in your biceps. Your scalp however contains dermatomes from C1,2 and the three branches of the Trigeminal Nerve VI-III. You need an MRI of the Head/neck. See Neurology please. Any difficulty breathing please call 911 and go to the ER. Cervical roots 3, 4, 5 feed your diaphragm, can't breathe if pinched

Question 6

neck cracking/popping, forehead/scalp tingling, the result of pinched nerves in neck?  mri's and ct's of head were normal.

thanks.

Accepted Answer

More info: The MRI and CT you speak of were of the head. Did you have a neck imaging test?
Any pinched nerves come from the neck.
Scalp tingling is another separate issue. Need labs and more information.
Neck cracking and popping is benign and self limiting.

Question 7

neck cracks/pops, forehead/scalp tingling, is the result of pinched nerves in neck from bulges at c5-c6 and c6-c7 via neck mri? brain cts/mri's were all normal. help!

Accepted Answer

Tingling: Neck cracking usually emanates from neck ligaments and vertebrae. Pinched nerves in the cervical spine generally cause Sharp,shooting pains in the back of the scalp. Tingling of forehead would be an unusual manifestation. I would be reassured about no significant neurological pathology in your case and would regard the tingling symptoms as more of a nuisance. A neurologist can advise you best.

Question 8

neck cracking/popping, forehead/scalp tingling, the result of pinched nerves in neck from bulges at c5-c6 and c6-c7 via neck mri?

mri's and ct's of brain were normal.  thanks.

Accepted Answer

Does not correlate.: The disk bulges at C5-C7 should affect your arm &amp; neck, not the forehead &amp; scalp. Many people live their ENTIRE LIVES with bulging disks &amp; don't complain of any pain, so MRI or CT scan to "diagnose" bulging disks is actually a gross misuse of imaging. Talk to your doctor or a neurologist about your symptoms to undergo accurate testing. Or use HealthTap Prime. Good luck to you; hope you find cause.
