Sensitive to touch nerve pain in head - sinus related?

@beats32 -

I had this same experience at your age. Stay away from ENT.

Occipital muscle tightness, tight neck flexors, forward head posture, masseter tightness. Your trapezius/SCM muscles are probably tight and you don’t know it. This radiates into your jaw/ear/face and can feel like sinus pain.

See a PT and work on stress management/muscular tightness.

*I am not a doctor. But this area crosses over into many specialist areas. ENTs are often seen due to pain referrals here. Be careful.

This 100% makes sense. I know my neck and traps are tight and I get frequent tension headaches. I'm going to go the PT route. Thank you!
