A member asked:
Focal pain when i shake head fast. i read that's one way doctors check for brain tumors. this true? does it mean i probably have a brain tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Doctors do not check for brain tumors that way, and it does not mean you have a brain tumor. I'd suggest you stop shaking your head fast.
