Socks,

I hear you on the headaches/migraines and neck stuff.

The muscles in my neck are weak and sore a lot. The pain if very frustrating. I did have an epidural that helped but not enough I have a chronic condition now but don't remember the name. Myo facial something...I go to physical therapy for it and do exercises at home.

Sometimes the work she does can stir up a headache or migraine. She has to be very careful around the occipital areas. I also have some arthritis in my neck but I didn't have pain from it before the injury.

The right and left ablations I had done for the occipital neuralgia worked 70% on left and 100% on right. I was finally able to get out of bed after 14-15 months of continuous pain.

Starting to be concerned that the nerves are regenerating already. It's been 6 months on the left and only 3 months on the right. I'll do it again but sedated. It's worth the relief for migraines.

I don't know if any of this helps. I hope so.

Jace
