I got a problem, a very irratating, painful problem. When I was about 16-17 years old, one time I was cutting the lawn with a gas lawn mower, I went to pull the chord to start it up, and I felt this extremely intense RIP in the back of my head...the pain was so bad I dropped to the ground and couldnt move.

Ever since, I have been getting it more and more often. My wife thinks its whiplash, but I dont...and everytime I go to the freakin' doctors office I forget to bring it up!!!!

It mostly occurs on the back left side of my head, but sometimes on the right. It happens loosely, even when I do a simple thing like sneeze...I feel the rip, and down to the ground I go grasping my head as tight as I can.

After the rip I feel a hot burning sensation and im starting to get worried that something bad may be going on, can scar tissue form from this?(for those who know whats happening to me)? It's F***ING P][SSING ME OFF.

Sounds like you you tore a ligament in your neck. You need to make a specific appt right away for this as you'll probably need an MRI to see for sure what is wrong.

this first happened like 3-4 years ago...can this "legament" keep healing and tearing over and over again? its happened so many times! and if it is doing that, can only bad come of it? scar tissue? or, can something happen with my brain?
