I have been having pains in my head, but it actually, besides the pain, feels as though my scalp is sore. It began about 9-10 days ago, this time (has happened in the past). Began on left upper skull and progressed to lower left just above neck. It subsided for less than 48 hours, and when it began again, it was on right side of skull just back of my ear. Have tried ibuprofen and aspirin with some relief.
