Kathi,

Thanks for the reply. I do have a herniated disc at C5-6, but the neurosurgeon wants to do a myelogram and nerve studies as he feels the herniation isn't significant enough to explain my symptoms. I thought the neck and head pain was from the disc problem and thats when he said no, that pain was from occipital neuralgia and that if he can't do anything for me, surgically, he intends to send me to his partner/neurologist.

So, here I stay in pain. Ellena
