I have tribe links neuralgia and occipital neuralgia. Botox and radio ablation helped me a lot. My etiology is small fiber neuropathy so while I have a small amount of large fiber i.e. spinal impinge ment the main problem is the small nerve fiber are degrading.

Marylynn... I see you stated that you had Botox AND an ablation.. I am still suffering. I did a nerve ablation of c1,c2,c3,c4 three weeks ago and have not seen any improvement. I have both occipital nerve pain when lying down and face and jaw pain, so trigeminal neuralgia too. I have only hade Botox for neck spasming, but now want to try it for the trigeminal neuralgia pain. Do you or anyone reading this know if someone at Mayo will inject for TN? I have read that they can inject the "zygomatic arch" .. I have horrible pain in the right side of my head. "temporalis muscles" and I want to have these areas injected before I resort to anticonvulsants. ( I have to drive and function at a high level) I have something wrong with my neck and its not plainly visible on an MRI,( just age related disc degeneration) ultimately I would like to find a doctor who can find out what structurally is causing this pain. AND FIX IT.
