A member asked:
I have tender spot on my back of head on both sides about an 1 1/2in behind ears and sinus pressure. can this be a sinus infection or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less likely sinus: This is more likely a tension or other form of headache as opposed to a sinus headache. Most who believe they have a sinus headache, don't. Its a good idea to get examined by a doctor to get a formal diagnosis. The treatment can vary depending on the cause.
