Migraine

My head gets really sore after a migraine. Just on my right side by my ear, jaw and eyes and top of head. I can't comb my hair very well any more. Are there any other ways to help with a sore head? Felt kind of petty for asking but it's just bothersome went meds don't work for this part of the migraine.

Dutchess, nothing you ask about migraines is petty. Without asking, you don't learn!!

My head, the skin of my scalp, is very tender after a migraine. Massaging it with the balls of my fingertips, a shampoo with the same massaging action or ice feels really good on it. I've not tried anyother way to deal with it. Those do help.

Take care.

I feel that way sometimes. I feel like I was beat up, yet have no bruising, but that's how I feel. I feel as if my body went through a war.

I also have an issue with feeling that way due to my triptan (Frova). It makes the back of my arms achy and feel kinda flu like.

As Cindy said, no question here is too petty, stupid, dumb, any of that. As she said, without asking about it, how will you know?

I think we have all asked our fair share of questions while getting to know more about this disease. The good thing though, we all understand because we all go through it too!

This article: Anatomy of a Migraine is a great one to reference. It tells us about all the stages of Migraine, including postdrome - which can include feeling icky for days after an attack.

Oh, yeah. I've done the head soreness thing a lot. It's pretty much a resolution phase thing for me, as everything resets.

Me too Dutchess!

Nope - no such thing as a petty question when it comes to migraines! We're all in this boat together!

Yes! My head and my whole body sometime, I call it my "hit by a bus" phase of a migraine. Although strangely sometimes lightly pulling my hair seems to help this. Go figure.
