But now it seems I have Occipital Neuralgia, originating from the cyst operation, which damaged the Occipital nerves!
Just my luck...

Hey Jaime, Saw your post today, this is my first day here. I also had a arachnoid cyst, mine as a child. I actually had my cyst removed it was on my auditory canal and 7th and 8th cranial nerves. Mine was removed at childrens hospital philadelphia in the early 80s. Then I had several reconstructive surgery procedures due to nerve damage. i couldn't smile or close my eye, also limited hearing in left ear. Figures I would get something so rare. But we all have our stories and problems. I figure this is what God gave me and maybe it will be useful to share my story with others. Wishing you all the best
