A member asked:

My scalp is always sore, in more then one area and i am always having spastic "brain pains", what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possible causes: Causes may include electrolyte abnormality, anxiety, headache, or an underlying structural problem (injury, overuse, sedentary lifestyle), etc. If the spams persist, see your physician. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000063.htm
