@elmay. I had an occipital nerve block about 3 months ago after suffering from occipital neuralgia for 3 months. Unfortunately insurance didn’t cover it as it is considered “experimental”. My neuralgia hasn’t come back yet. I should add I also had a platelet rich plasma occipital injection 2-3 weeks before the nerve block so my symptoms had already lessened by the time I got the nerve block. I would do either again.
