Hi
I am being treated for occipital neuralgia i have a tumour in occipital region
there is pressure on the nerves.
At the present time i am having nerve blocks into the back of head i have had 6 & will be having another in 2 wks time, these seem to help more than anything. i am also on anti epileptic meds & pain meds.
I have also had stellete ganglion blocks, but they made my b/p go up also caused seizures soon after i had them done.
The nerve blocks i have every 2-3 months, don`t feel very well for a couple of days, but then i`m not a young chick, they really do help the pain though
They say it`s only successful if it`s true " occipital neuralgia "
So worth a try.
hope this helps.
sophia
