Hair hurts??
Jul 7^th, 2009 at 8:49pm

Hi! I have a question. In the past year or so I have noticed my scalp hurting more and more. I don't wear my hair in pony tails or any up-do anymore because of the pain. I feel in at my sides and top of my head. My hair is past my waist and sorta fine. I don't know if it's the weight, but I got some layers to ease the pain. I still wish it would stop. Even touching my head hurts. My hair also seems to be a little thinner there. No balding, just thin. Does anyone else experience this? And does anyone know if I just need to break down and get a haircut or if there's another way to ease the pain?

Maybe it's a nerve or skin thing happening? Sounds like it's worth looking into medically before anything else. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Reply #2 - Jul 7^th, 2009 at 11:32pm When my hair was long (about BSL), the weight of it hurt my neck sometimes (particularly when it was wet in the shower) but I don't remember experiencing scalp pain like you are describing. Hopefully some of the other ladies here will have some solutions for you.

I guess I should. I first wanted to see if anyone else knew about it before going to the doctor. Making an appointment can be a pain. Thanks.

It is treatable and relief can be gotten. My grandfather got it through a blood transfusion when he had open heart surgery when I was little. He used to get it in the palms of his hands. So bad that his palms would bleed!
