What can cause chronic tension headaches when a piece of scalp feels sore and tender?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be occipital: Occipital neuralgia is a condition that may cause tenderness on the back of the scalp. It is a little different than a tension headache- the source and treatment are different for example. An injury or problem with the neck is a second possible cause. Tension headache can last this long however and may also be the cause.
