I have occipital neuralgia. But haven’t had surgery on it. I still suffer from them. I have tried Botox but for me it didn’t help.

The surgery definitely helped with the pain level. I hope you feel better soon!

What we’re your symptoms? What caused your neuralgia? I’m just trying to compare to someone that actually was diagnosed because I believe I have it as well and have been trying to figure out why I’m getting right sided head pain all the time. I just had disc surgery on my neck hoping it would fix the nerve pain above my eye and right temple but it literally lingers all day sometimes. My neologist said it was migraines and just tried putting me on different types of meds. I’m going back next month to see him and see if there’s any tests to see if I do have neuralgia. How were you diagnosed? Are you on any types of meds? Amitriptyline wokred for me 10mg but honestly I’m so sensitive to meds and hate taking them. I also tried gabapentin which didn’t work and Botox that worked but very temporary. Any advice would be helpful!
