Hello there,

I'm 23 years old and for about 1 year im suffering from what I think is an occipital neuralgia. I have constant pain in the back of my head in the occipital region and the pain radiates to my scalp, forehead, tample and nose and sometimes it is affecting my throat near the lymph nodes/larynx.

The pain is always present and now it's worse when I wake up. The only time I don't feel the pain is when I'm drinking and partying with friends.

Can occipital neuralgia affect the nose too because I don't see people having the same symptoms as I have and I can't say my occipital neuralgia represents the regular ON because of the pressure pain on my nose.

Anyone else having ON affecting the nose too? What can it be? Atypical TN?

Please
