Can anyone tell me what the Neuro was looking for when he pushed there? When I responded with pain he nodded and smiled like he found what he was looking for but didn't say...
Of course I didn't even think to ask until now.

Thanks,

Hi Kelly,
Your neuro was trying to see if the nerves running over your skull from the back are the source of the pain. I think it is the occipital nerve. Mine did that on my right side where all my pain is. Then he shot the nerve full of lidocaine. I had a vagus nerve response, my blood pressure dropped and I fainted. I came too as my blood pressure stabilized.

It worked short term. I take nortriptyline 50 mg daily to manage chronic pain and headaches. hope this gives some insight.

Laura
