Default Working with ON

I'm off work for the past 3 months due to a violent assault I endured at work. I have PCS, O/N, Ataxia, PTSD and anxiety. MY employer is pushing me to return. My Neuro says no way. Because of the anxiety I've accepted that I probably will never return to my last job. My question is this:

Will the pain from ON ever be down enough to work in any job? I'm in so much pain daily and I can barely move my head.

Has anyone successfully been approved for disability for this condition?

I hope not to go through the surgery option and haven't tried injections yet as I'm only newly diagnosed. Neuro suggests injections. Do they hurt?

Hi Kelly,

I just joined NeuroTalk and saw your post. How are you doing now? My friend has Occipital Neuralgia (ON) and is about to go see Dr. Hae-Dong Jho in Pittsburgh for a consult and see if he is a candidate for his nerve decompression surgery for ON. Have you looked into this procedure? Or do you know of anyone who has gone to see Dr. Jho?

I'm so sorry to hear you are suffering so badly. What treatments have you tried? We've learned a few things along the way that might help. We are also open to learning if you have found things to help at this point.

I look forward to hearing from you.
