Pain on the top of the head is inflamed nerves under the scalp.
I have it. I tell people my hair hurts and they laugh.

It’s occipital neuralgia. I have had it for a few years.

Before I started getting treatment for my GCA, my hair hurt. The air moving from a ceiling fan could trigger it. That cleared up once I started prednisone.
