What Causes Pain In Left Side Of Tender Head?
Last evening I suddenly experienced pain on the left side on top of my head. It was not a headache feeling, but more like tender and pain to the touch. It was also more soft to the touch. Nothing preceded this. It lasted about 3 - 5 minutes. This morning when I touch it, it is tender to the touch like I had bruised it. I have not had any injuries to the head, and nothing unusual was happening at the time. What do you think?

Hello,
Your symptoms can be related to migraine. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen three times a day to relieve the pain. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to consult a neurologist and take prescription painkillers such as Triptans.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
