A member asked:
Mild pain for 3 days now the majority of pain is at the rear left side of my head near neck & when i swallow the pain shoots to the front of my head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve or muscle: This could be a neuralgia symptom where the nerve exiting the intervertebral space in your neck is pinched, irritable or inflamed. The nerve would cause superficial scalp muscle discomfort. Swallowing motion can affect scalp muscles. Neuralgia isn't serious and usually resolves on its own after a few days. If symptoms persist or worsen see your physician or a neurologist for evaluation.
