Suggest Treatment For Numb Pain In Back Of Head
I'm 16, about 5"9, 160 pounds. I have had no medical problems to date except a badly sprained shoulder.
Today I have had an extremely weird problem, where I feel a numb pain in the back of my head and neck, I have been unable to concentrate or think clearly, and I feel as though my motor skills have declined slightly.

Very unusual problem for sure. But such problem may be because of
1. Prolonged pressure at the back of head- a band etc.
2. Vit B 12, B 6 deficiency
3. Small clot in the blood vessels of brain ( rare at your age)
4. Cervical spondylitis
Kindly just apply ice at th base of head n top of neck 15 min thrice a day, tab gabapin NT for 4 days, see a doc if it doesn settle in 4-5 days
