Could nerves caused by mental anguish cause the nerves in the scalp to be sore and painful?

I'm sorry for your loss. :&#92;\n\nI think that you should get it checked out by a doctor, and it makes sense that your mental anguish could be the cause of physical pain. \n\nGood luck. :]

Going on the assumption that there was no head injury, since you didn't mention this, it could be a vertebral compression or fracture.  This could put pressure on one or more spinal nerves causing the symptoms you describe.  Please see an Orthopaedist for X-rays, evaluation and treatment options before the damage is permanent (if it isn't already).  Best of luck to you.

as for the pain in your head it could be migraine brought on by stress and the paranoia you need to see a psychiatrist and need to be prescribed anti psychotic drugs like lithium then the headache will subside and also the paranoia

This would depend on a bit more specificity. If it is mainly in the scalp region, it would be one answer. If located on the side or the front and back of the head, would indicate something else..Although, both having a direct connection with the originating causation.\n\nIf you have a high level of sensitivity at the base of the skull of one side, we are discussing structural problems sufficient to cause neurological involvement.

It's knida hard to understand or to guess why this is happening to you.\nI have a theory, though - maybe when you are in mental pain you become very angry or depressed (which is bad for the nervous system), maybe you feel like crying. Maybe you have difficulty speaking because you feel like crying and you have like a clump in your throat?? Do you know what I mean?\nEither way, the solution is to be HAPPY, and I know it may be hard when you are experiencing mental pain, but this pain will NEVER go away by itself unless YOU do something about it. If you are happy, the thing with the throat shouldn't happen. Exercising may help too, both for the mental and physical well being.\nHope it helps.\nMarina

not me, but I know someone who has that same thing and she has found no relief either.  I'm guessing there's some kinda facial nerve damage going on there.  Don't know what to do about that.  I suppose you've already been to neurologists, neurosurgeons, & pain specialists (?) if you've seen that many doctors already.  I wish I knew more.  sorry I wasn't any help.   but I sympathize greatly.

stress 3 months ago will cause my hair to start to fall out, it does grow back as part of it's normal cycle. \nThere are creams you can rub in to your scalp to irritate the hair into growing. Failing this i did have my scalp injected which did work and was not as painful as i thought it was going to be.

The scabs that from over the injured skin irritate the tiny nerve endings.

A tension headache is a condition involving pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck, usually associated with muscle tightness in these areas. Tension headaches result from the contraction of neck and scalp muscles. One cause of this muscle contraction is a response to stress, depression or anxiety. Any activity that causes the head to be held in one position for a long time without moving can cause a headache. Such activities include typing or use of computers, fine work with the hands, and use of a microscope. Sleeping in a cold room or sleeping with the neck in an abnormal position may also trigger this type of headache. Other causes include eye strain, fatigue, alcohol use, excessive smoking, excessive caffeine use, sinus infection, nasal congestion, overexertion, colds, and influenza. Tension headaches are not associated with structural lesions in the brain.

There are pain receptors on the surface of the skin that relay information to the nervous system so that an action may be taken.

Yes, allergy or diseases causing allergic-like symptoms (such as mast cell diseases) can cause the numbness. I have experienced this many times, sometimes in conjunction with headache, swollen eye, stuffy sinus, sore throat, ear pain, loss of hearing, and even swollen lip, all on one side of my face only. The weirdest is the half throat soreness, it feels like you can draw a line right down the middle and one side doesn't hurt at all while the other side is so painful it hurts to swallow. \n\nIt is extremely important, as others have suggested, to have this checked out, since some very serious conditions can cause this as well, including Bell's Palsy, stroke, transient ischemic attack, heart disease, and even migraine. If it allergy related, it could lead to anaphylactic shock, so be aware and don't shrug it off when it happens.

I'm glad your daughter pulled though such a serious disease!\n\nYes, I think there is a link between the necrotizing fascitis and the myofascial pain syndrome.\n\nHere why:  I worked in a steel foundry and had what felt like bruising pain  thoughout various parts of my body.  I also had severe, burning skin pain on my thighs,  forearms, ribcage.  The doctors were baffled because my skin looked normal and they thought I had fibromyalgia.  Well, after two years of this unrelenting pain, my skin became redder and I slowly developed very, very faint skin lesions.  My skin had become thinned.  \nOnce very old dermatologist(I had gone to four) finally diganosed me with "Erythema ab igne".  I had damaged my skin from repeated overexposure to heat.\n\nHe explained to me that I did not have fibromyalgia.  He told me that there are several layers of the skin (I forget, seven I think) and that I damaged the deepest layers of my skin.  This is what is refered to as fascia pain.  He showed me a picture of my bicep which look normal and then close up enhanced version and the damaged skin.  He said that fascia pain sometimes feels like muslce pain and most doctors can't distinguish between the two.\n\nYour daughters deep layers of skin were obviously damaged.  Here protective layer is gone like mine is.  I can no longer go out in the sun, it burns like a blow torch.   If its a large area, her sweat glands will be ruin and she will overheat and fatigue easily.  She will feel cold easily too.\nMy advise it to try and keep her in a comfortable temperature around 70 degrees.  Too cold and she will have that bruising pain.  Too hot and she will be fatigued.  Be careful what kind of lotions you put on the skin, if it can't breath, she will overheat.  Sunblock is one that will cause her to feel hot.  I spray my skin with a mist of water in summer.\n\nI hope she feels better.

Heartache and headache?

A combination of acupuncture (in the scalp) and frequent head massages. I know having acupuncture in your head sounds painful, but it's not at all. You can barely feel the needles. Just be sure to go to a well-qualified acupuncturist.
