@soledad02 I know you posted this two years ago, but I'm really curious about the injection you received. Have the headaches ever returned, and did you ever find out what was injected? I've struggled with ice-pick headaches for years.

@ckscoville I'm sorry to hear of your ON pain. Yes my pain returned about six months ago but not as intense. We've moved to another state since my first injection. I reached out to a pain management doctor I've seen presiously for another issue. He gave me an injection (not very painful) in the back of my skull in the area of my occipital nerve. It worked right away but returned a week later for a few days, again not as intense. The pain subsided after that episode. Please see a pain management doctor as they deal with this type of disorder. It's so worth it to me and if needed will continue with these injections to get relief. The pain can be so unbareable.
