@Bensitouchreviews Just go to the doctor, without your mom. A headache can just be problems with muscle knots on the top of your back, or in the back of your head. The doctor might give you a requisition to a physical therapist for massage, but you should still go check if you have a brain tumor. It also might be a migraine, or that you need to sleep more.
This is from personal experiences, so I’m not sure about anything. But go check it out fast, you can’t go around in that much pain.

Ok, I have had a headache that NEVER goes away. I have had it for 10 months straight and i keep urging my mom to take me to the doctor because I think it might be a brain tumor but she keeps saying its just a headache!!! It is always in the same spot ( in the back left side of my head) it feels like its right inside my ear. It doesn’t feel like a migraine because it isn’t overwhelming. It is driving me CRAZY.
I pray all the time for it and i also end up crying because it NEVER ends. Im 13

Im 13 and last February I got told i had a brain-tumor on the right side of my brain, and im in the process of having it treated for. I have most of these symptoms but i also got little black squares come acorss my eyes and blind me, dizzy spells and horrible vomiting which comes and goes. im warning anyone with symptoms like these, get them checked out before its too late, the treatment may be less work.

@gotthkid2 an MRI will properly detect a tumour if any. hav got one? if u r in doubt, get one immediately. CT scans use ionizing radiation which has been known to cause cancer. so try an MRI. also, god is there so no worries!

@sharepeace3 i had surgery last year, they removed most of the tumor. i thought i would be totally cured, but im still going through some of the symptoms. the experience made me strong person, all these things are easy to live with.

@amerboy22 .. My brother was just diagnosed with a tumor in the same place as yours. I see you posted this 3 months ago. What have the doctors done for your treatment since this post? How are you feeling today? I’d like to give my brother some encouragement, so any input you may have would be appreciated. I hope you are well!

imGoinGhetto: have you been to the doctor?
there are all kinds of tests the doctors can do to find out what’s wrong. Don’t wait.
Many different diseases can lead to nosebleeds and headaches…talk to a doctor.

I am very worried. Lately i have been getting nosebleeds followed by headaches. Im thinking it could be a tumor. Also a couple years ago i got a concussion without any treatment or even going to the doctor. Also if I lay in a spot too long i get a headache in that area. It is like a liquid headache that moves with me when i roll over etc.. So if i lay on my back too long i get a headache right there, then i will roll to my side and feel the headache move to that spot. Im so scared right now.

dammit… well my vision is screwed up a lil, sometimes i just stare at one spot, also my speech is also screwed just like my logical thinking. even when i was writing this i spelled wrong few words about 20 times. and of course headache… head hurts most of the times at evening. and well sometimes when i look at the mirror, looks like my head is biger than usual. and im doing unthought thing like scraching my head. after few mins i go like “why am i doing this?…”.
