Hi Beth,
My ON pain is on the left side also. I have been getting the Occipital Nerve blocks for the last 18 months, and they work well for me. I haven't had any other procedures done yet, just the nerve blocks and a few different meds. I am 43, and have had ON pain come and go over the 12 years since I had neurosurgery to remove a cyst from my brain.
