Hello,
I have studied your case. Son spot in head is not a common occurrence. It can be due to collection of fluid in scalp or it can be lipoma. I would suggest you to meet a surgeon and get it examined thoroughly.
For weakness and leg pain most common cause at your age is lack of B 12 and vitamin D 3 in diet. It can be hormonal changes also. You need to get your serum B 12 and D 3 check up and if it is low then supplementation is needed.Take 1000 mg calcium daily and methyl cobal daily. I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
