A member asked:

Have a dull pain in top of my head and when i shake my head it hurts worst could it be a brain tumor no sickness or numbness just that pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Head pain: Although it is not likely to be a tumor, you should have an MRI to make sure you do not have a Chiari malformation or colloid cyst.
