I know that someone has posted about skull mets before, but I swear I can't find it after three days of searching. About three months ago I started to get headaches starting out on the back of my head. While massaging my head I noticed a little indented spot hurt to touch. The spot is no longer indented but level now with surroundings. I feel pressure or heaviness on the left side of the back of my skull. The headaches are better now. Comes and goes. My question is, what are the symptoms of skull mets? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

    Hi Dsub, I don't have experience of this either but if it's that concerning, it's worth mentioning to your doc as soon as possible.  Good luck!

    Love n hugs.  Chrissy

    hi dsub..skull met pain started for me as 2 oval shaped areas of pain, bone pain, on the top of my skull, either side...as opposed to headaches. i get headaches too, but usually they are typical, and more about neck tension, or vascular. bone pain is unique pain in my experience...you know that something is wrong, i had rib pain that i went to a doc about before my dx..  i dont have pain if i press on the mets spots....ask your doc about it if you are worried, and hopefully its just headaches :)
