Re: Burning feeling my head

Where is the pain? If you have tension in the muscles surrounding the skull it could cause significant pain. You have a lot of muscle attachments at the occiput, the base of the skull.

Hoping it is just tension and not brain mets, yikes! Try massaging the base of the skull and put pressure in little circles around the scalp. You can also dig in with your fingers and make small vibrating/scratching movements - feels great and helps relieve tension in the scalp muscles.

Sorry you have pain. Hopefully it won't be anything serious.
