Yes, my symptoms are on the right side. I have constant pounding headaches that radiate up from the base of my skull and have been treated with occipital nerve blocks (how I was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia in the first place. I also have pain in my neck and shoulder (scapular area) that radiates down my right arm like a "pinched nerve" feeling. It disturbs my sleep and my daily life. I have trouble turning my head to the right and I have to sleep with my right arm completely extended otherwise I get extreme pain with numbness & tingling.

I've had this pain for many years but it's gotten much worse in the past 3 to 4 years. I've had 2 years of physical therapy, massages, chiro, and the injections. I don't mind the nerve block injections but the relief never lasts longer than 6 weeks and my neuro doesn't want to keep giving them over and over which is what led us to look for a root cause.
