A member asked:

I have a muscle in the back of my head that hurts when i cough or move my head and comb my hair. could this be the trigminial nerve?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: There are several muscles in the back of your neck that support your head. Coughing or moving your head could apply pressure to these muscles causing pain if you have a painful joint or disk. Trigeminal nerve pain typically causes facial pain
