Summary
A person who got COVID-19 described scalp pain on the back of the head whenever they lay on their back for more than 30 minutes. The pain eased when they changed position or got up, but repeated lying on the back made the area more sensitive and it took months to return to baseline. Massage and heat did not significantly help, and their doctor did not take the issue seriously.
