A quick question does anyone suffer with very sensitive and painful scalp to touch?
When my head hurts like today my scalp really hurts to touch. But if I massage my scalp it helps with the pain but leaves me feeling really exhausted and sleepy.

Yes I get this every so often, for me it feels like my scalp has been burned (like sunburn) quite painful to wash/brush hair. I also have peripheral neuropathy, (small fibre) so unsure what condition is the actual cause.
Yes, my scalp burns and is always very irritant all the time. I am always glad to get a hair wash, which my husband does for me. As the body is painful all over with Fibro, I assume it is the same.
I often think I must have hit my head on something as that is how it feels, always in the same places. I find massaging helps a bit. Wearing a hat often makes my head ache too.
I've needed a serious haircut for sometime but avoided going because of brushes and c0mbs across my scalp..I remember a hair salon whitewash blow and head massage I might be tempted to try it...the rheumatologist I saw yesterday in the bud city hospital suggested I try this,,he has ruled out polymyalgia thank god I don't want anything else
