Tender spots on head

My pain on my head seems to be more noticeable at times then others but the pain is constant. I have had what I called "soft spots" for a while and they hurt if you touch them. It has just been recently that they have seemed to go from "only certin sections of my head" to the whole top back of my head. Now when I lay in bed with my head on my pillow my head will hurt (more often then not) because of the pressure touching them I guess. I cant afford insurance. What do you think is wrong with my head? Do you think its serious?

Wow...you hit the nail on the head, so to say. :o
Get these horrible sore spots that do always hit in the same place, but also get those ones where the hair is pulled back. Of course, I'm a mess and trying to survive. Too much to mention that is wrong with me.  
Noticed that ever since, I was hit on the head back in '95 that my head gets these golf ball size, like a goose-egg up there.
Sound like I got that cephalgia stuff.

You all need to look into seeing a Chiro which specialises in C-Spine!! Also eat all natural foods NOTHING packaged. Try that and see improvement quite quickly!

WOW~ people like me....I am having the sore place right ear level down to neck:most noticeable in the last week. At the 2 ridge area spoken of by a post from last year. I am so relieved to find you all and to have faith that it may not be a tumor or worse. I had a ruptured aneurysm at 39yrs (now i'm 67yrs) and somehow lived and continued to work as a flt attendant. I do have a ruptured disc in my lower back and sometimes I am in terrible pain akin to 'putting your back out'....now to my neck>for  the past 2 months I have been to the masseuse and chiropractor twice weekly. Nothing has helped with the neck popping and neck discomfort. Btw>the neck sounds are so loud that other people hear it!! I have been in extreme stress for 5 yrs since my beloved husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. He died in my arms this Valentine's eve 2015.
I take anti inflammation~pain pills and chamomile tea constantly..The pain/inflammation pills help. Oh>I am prone to migraines and once had to be hospitalized. I'm on lyrica and cymbalta.  And I no longer sleep on my right side as it hurts quite a bit.  I am going to demand an MRI ASAP this week! I will stay in touch and add anything I think could help.     Bless ya'll! Carrie

I have the same problem. Massaging with pressure using a couple of fingers at that spot or spots can alleviate the headache. It also helps to find similar spots on jaw and neck and perform the same massage

Did you find out what your pain was? I have had this twice now and it goes away on its own. I suspect mine has to do with sinuses, since i've always had sinus problems. Either that, or i slept funny and did something to a nerve. Anyway, thank you all for your great posts. I am not going to worry about my symptoms. By the way, it's a sore spot, no headache, tender to the touch and no other symptoms or reactions. I eat clean and exercise daily. I don't drink or eat much sugar or fake sugar. I don't get migraines. and it is not in my head, rather ON it! (haha) that's a nod to the remark about it being psychosomatic. yeah, sure.
