Yeah it started out with random shooting, stabbing pains on one side of the back of head and now has spread to both sides Happened 4 months ago and hasn’t gotten better What’s odd was I thought it was a tension headache because the back of my neck would lock up ( tight/stiff) . Been seen by doctors and imaging. Said that I was fine but in pain.

@Pmsss I was in constant pain for 6 years my friend. I didn't quit massaging and improving my sleep. I broke my neck in 3 places as well as it being genetical. If I can heal so can you. Don't think that way
@Pmsss I know that feeling. I had everything before my accident and 4 years ago at 27 I became paralyzed. Imagine that! If anyone understands what you’re feeling it’s me. But pain unlocks something amazing. You just need to turn your bad thoughts into positives and then you can unlock the wisdom.
@Pmsss Whenever you are really struggling and feeling very alone in your pain just remember that I exist somewhere and I feel pain too every single moment (physical and mental) and I am here with you in spirit rooting for you! Don't let the pain you experience hide your light within. You will be better and look back at this period to draw strength! ❤
Occipital notch physical therapy or a good chiropractic who does these exercises: biofeedback, better posture techniques, active release or cranial massage, massage to the occipital notch, head, neck and shoulders. Heat application or tens can be helpful. If you have a job or habit where your head and neck are flexed forward often you’ll make it worse. Take a break from technology
I have had the exact same pain where my uppermost vertebrae meets the base of my skull on the right side since a skiing accident when I was 12, in which I sustained a spinal injury and TBI. I really feel like it is killing me. I have been to so many different doctors and specialists over the years without success. It’s probably trigeminal neuralgia but in the past two years I have had 7 of these very sudden onset headaches that stem from behind my right eye. They cause vision loss and extreme pain but are fairly short in duration. I have pretty intense fears of hospitals and doctors, and it’s so overwhelming. I often feel very, very little hope for my life.
Hi friend so sorry to hear you’ve been going through a lot! Possible adhesion release method wound likely help but an evaluation would be needed, curious where are you located?
Please do a medical check-up for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as your symptoms may be originating from a form of Hiatal Hernia and/or an H. pylori infection ( I had to do an endoscopy with biopsy to confirm this as it did not show in my blood or stool even though it was in my stomach). You would be surprised how problems with your gastrointestinal tract affect your overall well-being. Symptoms may include unexplained weight loss and difficulty gaining weight, iron deficiency, anemia, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, sudden severe cold, palpitations (high pulse), high blood pressure or even slightly low blood pressure.
I fainted in March 2024,hit the back middle of my head against the frame of my bathroom door and fell on the floor. I mostly sleep on my back every night on that same spot. Lately, if I bend over, cough, throw up, sneeze, etc I get a full on headache that is the most intense stabbing and throbbing pressure I've ever felt. It is so painful, no medication I take helps me. I go to the ER and they act like they don't have pain medication there or something so they give me all these nausea medications, benadryl, and meanwhile I'm at pain level 15 out of 10 like my brain will explode. This might be what is going on. Because this has been hurting for months, but finally now is beyond what I can tolerate.
It sounds like you’ve been through a very challenging and painful experience. Hitting your head and then dealing with persistent headaches must be incredibly difficult, especially with symptoms that worsen during basic movements. Wishing you strength as you navigate this pain-your persistence in seeking answers is admirable🙏🏻🫶🏻
I was born with congenital hydrocephalus in September 1988, and only started having headaches about 3 years ago. And neither my neurosurgeon nor my general practitioner could figure out why my headaches were happening. Only to figure out after seeing a neurologist nurse practitioner, that all of my symptoms do indicate occipital neuralgia.
How do we reduce the inflammation in the occipital nerves? I've head MRI scans of the brain and nothing comes back but it's this problem i know it. Have to be our own doctor in a world full of doctors 🙃
I hear you! It depends what the cause of the inflammation so an evaluation would be needed, what we treat here is adhesions, releasing adhesions take pressure of the nerve would help relief nerve symptoms
i have had this problem for soooo long and i can feel the nerve. it’s some of the worst headaches i’ve experienced and i’ve known it was this nerve for awhile just from searching and feeling it. nobody seems to listen when it comes to how painful it is. what should i do?
i had a craniectomy seven years ago i was told the pain in my head is forever going to be there i can’t lay my head on the pillow. my incision line is sore to touch and it’s sensitive to touch my neurologist just blow my concerns off and tells the pain is normal
If they had to remove a tumor or blood to save your life the damage the surgeon did to cut the scalp and skull to fix you is often the price you pay since that skull gets in the way for a reason. Death is the alternative and a neurologist wouldn’t have a treatment in mind post surgical procedure. A neurosurgeon would tell you hopefully it improves but it may not. Unfortunately pain can be normal and a part of life. Seeing a therapist to make peace with that is better than looking for magic treatments that won’t help or could make you an addict
Been having this issue for a while now and I just had images and CT scans, they found nothing, I feel this exact pain where you said and everything, where would I go to get this treatment done and pain gone, please help and thank you.

Adhesion in the neck or suboccipital muscles alone is unlikely to directly cause an eye to be pulled out of alignment. However, there can be indirect effects on eye alignment due to the intricate connections between muscles, nerves, and other structures in the head and neck region. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about eye alignment or if you're experiencing symptoms related to neck or suboccipital muscle issues
New here, question if I have swelling at the base (that last line shown) like a lump, can this be rubbed out? 😅I have other lipomas in my trunk area.

Hi, My husband is having pain at the occipital region since 3 months. He feels like heaviness. So when we checked his BP was 170/90,and on palpating I felt like there is swelling at the back side and feels like a lump but he doesnt have any pain on that. Doctor started BP tablet for him. But still there is no change. Could you please suggest any solution for that.
Hey friend so sorry for what your husband is going on! An evaluation would be needed to see what’s best solution for his case, has he seen any other doctor or therapist for it?
I've had pain/ tightness in this region for over two years, but only when upright (it goes away when lying down). I also had an unprovoked pulmonary embolism just over a year ago, so not much luck with health!

Can bad sleep posture also lead to occipital neuralgia? Like for the past two years , i just lay down on my bed without a pillow and sleep. I am used to sleeping with a pillow behind. And it was fine till the last month.This month i have started experiencing pain on back of my head but it goes when i sleep with a pillow behind my head. I guess it in the first stage , and i don't take care it will become worse.
Yup, bad sleep posture can contribute to occipital neuralgia. Occipital neuralgia is a condition characterized by chronic pain in the upper neck, back of the head, and behind the eyes, typically due to irritation or injury to the occipital nerves. Poor sleep posture can lead to muscle strain and tension in the neck and upper back, which in turn can irritate the occipital nerves. Here is a video where we explain proper way to sleep th-cam.com/video/K5OckvtAtik/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3vBnC3WVy0MX9KHy

So sorry to hear this friend! It’s hard to say what’s your diagnosis without examination! What Ashis said it’s so important, getting imaging such as X-rays to find out more about what could be causing your pain could be a good next step!

Hi, My husband is having pain at the occipital region since 3 months. He feels like heaviness. So when we checked his BP was 170/90,and on palpating I felt like there is swelling at the back side and feels like a lump but he doesnt have any pain on that. Doctor started BP tablet for him. But still there is no change. Could you please suggest any solution for that.
Hey friend so sorry for what your husband is going on! An evaluation would be needed to see what’s best solution for his case, has he seen any other doctor or therapist for it?
I've had pain/ tightness in this region for over two years, but only when upright (it goes away when lying down). I also had an unprovoked pulmonary embolism just over a year ago, so not much luck with health!
So sorry to hear this my friend!
How are you , mine seem worse when I’m up as well
Can occipital adhesios affect entire dura down to lumbar and also cause nerve shocks up and down the body? Everything is "glued" and kind of atrophied since upper neck injury. The"glue" pulls extremely
Yup friend it’s possible, best would be to see an adhesion release methods provider to evaluate you and see if adhesion is affecting check out www.findanadhesionprovider.com
What is an adhesion specialist and where do you find one? I’ve had this pain for a week and need to act fast!

Can bad sleep posture also lead to occipital neuralgia? Like for the past two years , i just lay down on my bed without a pillow and sleep. I am used to sleeping with a pillow behind. And it was fine till the last month.This month i have started experiencing pain on back of my head but it goes when i sleep with a pillow behind my head. I guess it in the first stage , and i don't take care it will become worse.
Yup, bad sleep posture can contribute to occipital neuralgia. Occipital neuralgia is a condition characterized by chronic pain in the upper neck, back of the head, and behind the eyes, typically due to irritation or injury to the occipital nerves. Poor sleep posture can lead to muscle strain and tension in the neck and upper back, which in turn can irritate the occipital nerves.
Here is a video where we explain proper way to sleep th-cam.com/video/K5OckvtAtik/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3vBnC3WVy0MX9KHy
Can this go away on its own? Will it last forever?
if it's adhesion binding the nerve, it won't go away on it's own. Yes, it'll last until the adhesions are removed.
How are they removed?

You may want to research Cerebral Spinal Fluid Leak (CSF). Many who suffer with base of the scull headaches may have a "leak". They are making new discoveries and headway treatment daily about this.

I am suffering from the same, i also cannot sleep peacefully because of too much pain even from a normal touch..do i have occipital neuralgia or a normal headache? Like im having it from a week and all medicines I have tried so far not worked.
Hey I understand your problem, plz do xray of your neck and you will get the source of your pain. You got with the cervical instability which leads to occipital neuralgia and migrain head i have been in this last two year having chronic pain in neck and Suffering from brain fog and shoulder pain the only way to get relief is Prolo therapy shots for good alignmentof neck bones and will get relief! Thanks

What Ashis said it’s so important, getting imaging such as X-rays to find out more about what could be causing your pain could be a good next step!
