I'm interested for my friend who has TGN. His dentist just gave him a month guard which isn't really helping. Where were the DepoMedrol injections given and who gave them?

The greater occipital nerves go up the back of your head (the occiput). A neurologist gave the shots at a point where the involved nerve was close to the surface, and the DM/Lidocaine was injected beside the nerve. I have polyneuropathy in my legs now and saw the same guy, but he had no magic for me this time.
