pain in forehead for over 4 years?

Postby JDW » Fri Feb 07, 2014 7:36 pm

So i bumped my head years ago, when i was still a teenager as i was climbing under a fence (which i shouldn't have been doing) i lifted my head too soon and hit my forehead full on, it left me with two massive bumps which got me the nickname of boob head for the next 4 weeks .... anyway thats when it happened i'm sure of it.

for a couple years afterwards, i didn't notice anything different, i did however when i got older and more aware of appearance, noticed my bump hadn't gone away, it left me emotionally obsessed with getting rid of this bump. i remembered once i tried pushing it in to try and get rid of it but that just backfired and made it bigger. after 3 years or so of this constant obsessing, i managed to get over it and accept it for something i can't get rid of.

however for the past 4 years i've noticed pain coming from this bump which no one else seems to see even when i point it out to them. its very annoying, I've told several people that i get pain from my head, head ages and stuff and i once even booked an appointment for my GP and told her and she just said the bump was probably not a bump and just the way my head was shaped. she told me to take paracetamol whenever i got a headache which was just useless advice to me.

about 3 years after seeing her, i still have pain in my head, its not bad enough that i need to take paracetamol usually. it does however haunt me most days of the week, its like chronic pain and shaking my head around or anything like that just causes it to hurt more. it zaps me of energy and i sometimes can't remember never having this pain, its just awful and yet i hardly ever complain about it because it wasn't devastatingly painful. it was a chronic pain in my forehead, sometimes i get migraines and their terrible, about 3 times a year but i think thats normal. it does however at times make social situations unbearable and i will tend to zone out because i can't handle the pain it gives me trying to keep up with everyone and laugh and smile and chat. i do have quite a bit of social anxiety and wonder if this has caused it to get worse.

anyway, i can touch my forehead on my right side where the pain comes from, and i can feel the bump and its always from that area. i really need some advice and opinions on what this is, is it just chronic pain from a head injury which i'll have to just live with?

i write this now as the pain is currently there, like i said i could take paracetamol but its as if it isn't that type of headache and its not that bad, maybe if i was doing something stressful for the next 8 hours or something i would consider but i know i can handle this pain as it is now. i hope i can get a reply on this and i would love to answer any questions you might have, thank you very very much.

additional details: if i touch the area of the bump, i can sort of feel a split as it is a split on my actual skull which scares me. when i frown my skin on that side of my head can't fully frown it stops where the bump is which has bothered me for many years now but no one seems to think anything of it or refuse to admit its like that, usually they say its just the shape of my head. the pain comes and goes and sometimes i can go days without noticing anything but usually thats when i'm under stress and i'm running ran crazy.

Sorry to hear that you've been experiencing so much pain. Does the paracetamol help? Perhaps you could talk to a plastic surgeon or someone who specializes in that type of thing? That way you could get a more professional opinion on what is going on with your bone structure?
