I've asked if it could be Occipital Neuralgia but none believe it could be. In fact I was told I definitely don't have it.

I've done pt, endless stretching, etc. I'm out of options so I'm hoping someone here might have am idea or a similar experience or anything.
After a high speed MVA in which the car I was driving was rear-ended by a driver who didn't brake before impact, I ended up with (among other things) pain in the back of my head. After 10 months of PT, my Orthopedic Surgeon had me start Chiropractic therapy with a doctor who specializes in chiropractic sports medicine. It has made significant difference in my progress. In addition, they identified that my C2 was "jammed" causing nerve impairment. When the chiropractor was finally able to get release (there was a very loud crack above my hairline at the back of my neck) the pain in the back of my head went away. I'm still in treatment and he still has to work on the area right now, but that's what has helped me.
