Scalp pain with or without hair loss?

Anyone else having scalp pain? I can't find much about it. I've heard of people having scalp pain after chemo before the hair falls out (my nephew has stage 4 Lymphoma and my sister also had a rare type of cancer).

Anyway, I thought my hair loss issues were getting better, but I just started experiencing this scalp pain that I haven't had in quite some time, and I'm wondering if I can expect more hair loss in my near future :(

I'm not on any treatment as of yet, still playing the waiting game.

Any advice and/or experience with this?

It feels like I had my hair pulled back too tight too for long and it hurts to move my hair (but my hair hasn't been in a ponytail for a few days). Ouch! :(

Lymer,
May I ask why you haven't started any treatment yet? Not sure what you meant by 'the waiting game'?

Hopeful Maxine and aphysicalwreck, I'm so sorry you're also having these issues. Thanks for your replies. I have also started getting the tingling in my head, but that's a more recent symptom than the scalp pain and hair loss. Just one more thing to add to that enormous list, right?

Traveler, I have my first appt with the LLMD on Feb. 6th. Until then I just have to see my Rheumy and watch him scratch his head. This is actually "Rori", btw :)
I'm sorry for the name change to Lymer, but Rori is my nickname, and since I know this forum is public, I decided to choose a different user name for privacy purposes. :)

I feel like I'm always repeating myself because I'm so forgetful, and my posts always get lengthy because I tend to ramble, so that was my attempt at shortening my post. Ha!

I looked at a picture of myself from a couple days ago and noticed my right eye is also starting to droop. For some reason I hadn't noticed by looking in the mirror. At least now I won't hear things like, "well you don't look sick". You have to look for the positives in everything, right?? Lol :)
