Default Nerve Block Injections for PCS?

Has anyone tried nerve block scalp injections for headaches? Is this a form of PCS treatment? I understand PCS is brain related and not scalp related?

Yes I have. Mine is for occipital neuralgia. Both times provided brief relief. See a neurologist for your headaches quick. One that deals with brain injuries!!!

Peace and healing, Jace
