I was just diagnosed with occipital nueralgia along with haveing almost daily migranes. Does the occipital neuralgia ever go away? I have a prodedure called a nerve blcock done. It kinda made the headache go away but my neck is extremely sore it feels like I have a continous stiff neck. What else can I do?
