your scalp is really not connected to your brain but your scalp is rich in sensory nerves so forceful hair-pulling may result in some residual discomfort as you have experienced. brain surgery 12 years ago should not preclude playful hair-pulling but if this act causes you pain afterwards it should be avoided no matter how much you loved it.
since i had brain surgery before is it bad for my health if my boyfriend pulls my hair roughly? . it's been 12 years since i had brain surgery as a child. all i remember is that until my hair grew back i had a scar on the back of head where they had removed a piece of my skull during the surgery. now my boyfriend grabbed all of my hair and pulled it while kissing me which i loved. but afterwards i noticed something didn't feel right in that area in the back of my head for the next couple of days. is it possible that my previous brain surgery makes hair pulling actually unhealthy?
