Tightness back of head/neck

I have this. I had a lidocaine injection that made it worse. There is a chiropractor in my area who does very subtle adjustments for this. I have a baclofen and methylprednisolone prescriptions. I have gone to PT for 10 months but they only do massage. My neuro wrote a note saying I cannot bend my head back at all.

Believe it or not what helps me the most is Ben Gay, massaged in with plastic bags on my hands.

@windyshores @pkh3381 hi, there are videos on YouTube about Occipital Neuralgia. Some show neck exercises that really do help. Also, I find that wet heat feels good.

I like Bio-Freeze on my aches because the smell fades away quickly…

Thank you i will try ben gay! My dr gave me some serious pain med made up especially and i dont want to take bc of the ingredients
