Hi, i am pretty sure that first your doctor has to get you in for an MRI, just to make sure it is occipital neuralgia, and if it is how serious is it? That's what happened to me anyway. I was complaining about my head hurting on and off and getting a tingling almost numb feeling in my head. That's when the neurologist told me to get an MRI and see if it is it, also if it is, they need to see how serious it is.
Hope this helps and good luck
