Why does the back of my head hurt when i put pressure on it? the top back part of my head feels kinda flat is that normal? that's where it hurts

Occiput: You are likely feeling the external occipital protuberance. Look it up. But that has a bump feel with a flat above. This is where the neck misled attach, and a common location for muscle strain symptoms. Can also lead to some headaches. Stretches, ice/heat, otc meds are likely to be all you need.
