I have over the past few weeks had alot of pressure and swelling on the back of my head on the right side just above my neck going up that side about half way can anyone tell me what this might be caused by.

I do suffer from some numbness/ pins and needles on my right side when lying in certain positions as well as tenderness when touched, also some pain will travel through to my right eye, any ideas

I think I may have the same thing, but every doctor I talk to has no idea what it is. The strange part is that pressure and swelling comes and goes. They tell me its tension headaches because nobody actually knows what is going on. I've had scans, tried muscle relaxants, and several other treatments for tension headaches and nothing works. If you find out any information about your condition, please let met know.
