Occipital Neuralgia: What treatments work for you?

@colleenyoung can I get connected too? I have the same issue. Every so often my ON flares up. Most times I know its about to happen and then eventually turns into a headache and nothing helps except for NSAIDs and I hate taking those. I would prefer not to take the nerve block shot but if there are no other options then I am not sure. Looking to learn more on how to manage this.

@sha04 I quit taking meds but I do exercise to stregthen my neck not just stretching. check u-tbue. I have the very same problem I can do everything right then for some on known reason
a bad flair up. I do nerve blocks and trigger shots on the regular sechule every three or four wks.
I also do clinical massage every four weeks, very helpful. I do know how terrible the pain can be
when I get ice picks in back of my head I use Migraine cap keep in freeer. Try anything I know how terrible the pain can be so their are those who understand. Best to you.
