A member asked:

I have indentations on the back of my head right above my ears. when ever they appear i have a massive headache. not due to glasses as they are new.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like: your headaches are consistent with a spasm in the temporalis muscles. The back edge (posterior border) of the muscle is approximately where you describe. I a tense contracted state or spasm it will puff up and protrude hence the bump. Do you happen to clench or grind your teeth? Consult with a dentist who can make appropriate diagnosis and treatment recommendations or referral.
