Can you please explain the scalp burning sensation? I obviously know what you are talking about from a subjective standpoint. Can you explain your symptoms? Those were some of my first.

Yes my scalp started to burn so I went to dermatologist. They said it was neurological. I researched as symptoms got worse, head pain, right sided only, ear pain, like an ear infection, facial pain, pain around eyes, throat pain, stabbing in throat. I went to many specialists, PC, ENT, Orthopedics, Dentist, Oral surgeon, Neurologist, trying to rule out what it wasn't. All said neurological. I decided it was Occipital Neuralgia and had 2 nerve blocks that did not work. The pain followed the Occipital path but as shown in the picture I added also very similar to Cervicogenic headache at C1, C2.
Eventually we drove 10 hours to Mayo Jacksonville and I am being treated . There is an element of Trigeminal neuralgia also. If the injections at C1,C2 don't work, they are considering Eagles Syndrome.
Occipital Neuralgia and Cervicogenic headache, seem to me, to follow the same path. I was convinced it was Occipital due to the burning scalp.
I have read 1000s of articles and studies to try and resolve this! It has been going on since last May.
Do you have similar symptoms?
