@beachlife67 I have had multiple diagnoses because I’ve learned that you can have more than one type of headache.
Occipital neuralgia for me responded best to steroid injections in the greater and lesser occipital nerves and auricular nerve. It eventually went away.
Cervicogenic headaches are broader term that for me were likely related to neck tension. They respond best to muscle relaxing through heat and stretching and headache meds of some sort.
The most recent headache doc I’ve seen was the most helpful in saying that if you are a headache sufferer you can have different headaches and may need different interventions.
I kept thinking I have migraines but they were acting like other types of headaches. Realizing that my headaches might not all be the same was helpful.
