The pain you experience can be a headache. The headache that you may experience during a migraine attack is usually on one side and may be pulsatile. The sensitivity of the scalp you encounter is probably allodynia, "a painful response to a stimulus is not painful. It is not uncommon to have allodynia "Migraine.Here s some info about it:

A migraine can last five days. I do not want to worry you but please remember Rule 72 hours: the pain of a migraine that lasts over 72 hours to less than four hours while awake emergency "status Migrainous" and requires medical attention immediately. Location Migrainous can cause stroke, coma and even death.

Do you love the side of your head near your temple? Any alteration of the vision? It could be a symptom of your recent illness Benin, but I wonder if you have a condition called temporal arteritis. "It is not too common, and treatable, but can be dangerous and can cause blindness. I hope it helps you and you feel better soon.
