Is there a test for occipital Neuralgia (ON)? My headache doctor thinks I have this, and wants to send me for injections at a pain clinic.
Do the injections work to help end the pain?? |

Yes. They will ask you alot of questions about the nature of your pain and if it sounds like ON, then they will do some freezing shots in your head and see how it goes.

Good luck with your appointment. Let us know how it goes. I hope you can get some relief. I've had an ON headache for over a year now. I see a pain specialist weekly.

Keeping a pain journal may be helpful-at the very least it will give them some idea of how often you have headaches and their intensity. Sorry about your DX. Having ON stinks. |
