I think it is from our neck muscles . Maybe gentle stretching would help side to side,

Yes,, I get this from time to time. I use the wet brush to comb my hair when my head is sore. You can find it on Amazon. It is really helpful for these episodes. Take care.

Yes my scalp is achy and tender and its hurts to brush my hair or put my hair up in a pony tail.
I haven't found any reason for this or any way to get relief. Even shampooing or rubbing my wet head with a towel hurts.

Mine hurts really bad sometimes. I wasn't sure if it was a symptom or just that I needed to wash my hair. Now I know it is fibro. Bummer!

Mine hurts too!!! I am sorry that everybody's scalp hurts, but I am happy to know that I am not alone. The lower left side of my scalp is swollen tonight. I haven't had that happen before. My scalp usually feels bruised when I touch it and I started at the same time that the fibro did.

    Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...
