I'm wondering: if your occipital headaches were resolved for 9 months following your first TOS surgery, wouldn't that suggest that the headaches are related to the TOS? I understand that headaches can be caused by both TOS and cervical issues, but what lead you to conclude that they were not related to the TOS?
Thanks,

The 2nd bout of headaches differed from the first in that I didn't have the same facial pain and now had pain coming directly from the high cervical spinal joints and stabbing pain at the base of my skull. I initially benefitted from cervical medial branch facet blocks and RF ablation initially. Also, the pain was unchanged after undergoing a repeat TOS surgery to clean up scarring.
