This can cause the nerves to be pulled/irritated every time you move since the nerves can no longer glide properly. And you having upper cervical lesions adds another thing to consider. I think the occipital nerve has a component from C2.
Again, welcome to the forum, keep us posted on how you're doing, and what working for you.

Yes the block do help. I can usually get about a week with no headache. Right after the shots, my head is reallt painful for 2-3 days (Where the shots went in) and then it settles down. I haven't decided if this trade off is worth it or not, but I guess if we are going to build a case for the implant, then I have to keep doing it.
Thanks for the welcome. I had no idea there were boards for this type of stuff.
