Occipital Neuralgia Headache: Terrible pain lasting weeks, what helps?
Headache & Migraine | Last Active: 5 hours ago | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
I’ve posted several times about my 12-year battle against occipital neuralgia. My current regimen: a Nalu nerve stimulator, Celebrex, Tylenol, heat on neck and ice pack on my scalp. Recently started Somatic Pain Treatment which is helping me learn to cope with the pain (as opposed to fighting it.). Jury is still out on that!

Thank you I will ask about that nerve stimular. Is Celebrex a preceiption?
Slept all night with ice pack on my head, only relief.
One friend said she thats Indocin (I do believe this is for ordinory migarine Headacks)'
I will be starting a regular massage to help keep my muscle soft, seems this is where my problems start. The tripper shots do help, but I do have months in between my awful attacks
(lasting 3 weeks solid). I could use tripper shots weekly (medicare has cut us back to every
four months.
