Question:
How much should you notice your external occipital protuberance?
Last week well scratching by head I noticed what felt like a hard half of a ping pong ball at the bottom of skull/top of neck. I was like, where did that come from. I know it wasnt there before or at least so noticeable. I read about the external occipital protuberance but how noticeable should that really be? It feels like what u get when u bump your head. I just find it odd I would just notice it, like i said, it couldnt have been there or been so big before. How noticeable should it be ? I have been having other bone pain which is being looked by my doctor. I am bringing up the head thing tomorrow but wondered others opinions. Could anything cause it to be more noticeable, such as something not good.
Answers:
most people never notice the protuberance to the point of thinking it is odd. Everyone has one. It's like saying should I be worried about having a chin. You are too health obsessed. Tell your Dr. your fears.
