Occipital Neuralgia and Headaches: Effective Treatments and Remedies
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ม.ค. 2018
- Are you experiencing burning, irritation, or sharp shooting pain in the back of your head? Does it also trigger headaches, vision changes, or other issues? If so, you may be suffering from Occipital Neuralgia, a condition caused by tensioning in the muscles around the head and neck that squeeze on the nerves.
There are several reasons why this tensioning happens, including trauma from a fall, car accident, or sports injury; postural adaptation changes due to an injury or alignment issues; and stress. If left untreated, the irritation can become continuous and affect both nerves and muscles.
So, what can be done to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with Occipital Neuralgia? The key is to seek evaluation and treatment from someone who understands how the body is integrated together. At Rebalance Physical Therapy, we focus on treating both the musculature and fascia around the joints, such as the head, neck, shoulder, and shoulder blade. This allows the joints and muscles to be reeducated, which can reduce tensioning and prevent future irritation.

If you don't live nearby, shoot us an email and let us help you find a physical therapist in your area.

Thank you! I am having pain there and I am hoping to Father God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that it completely goes away!
I hope mine goes away to
@@ffranzinee_ me also
I have been dealing with this off and on for 8 years, this year it has flared up so bad that I really have no quality of life. I hope you get some relief.
I got this from laying the back of head head against my metal bed(I advise people never do this) and I happened to fall asleep. Not long afterwards or the next day.. I was getting a sharp pain on the side of my head nonstop for several days (felt like a lightning bolt shooting up) Almost like tidal waves coming unexpectedly. Anyway, I did some research and took sarsaparilla tea( a holistic approach it started relief almost immediately) Then that night I prayed heartedly before I went to bed. Well, I had this spiritual dream ( it was actually happening) There were 3-4 beings looked like figures ( couldn’t make out who they were) standing over me and trying to turn me to my side. I didn’t understand what was happening because I didn’t know they were here to answer my prayer. So maybe try hot sarsaparilla tea (reminds me of turmeric but a brown color) and pray because this really worked for me. But you may want to speak to your doctor first!! Definitely not for people with kidney disease etc. Or perhaps a holistic doctor.
Amen
I've had occipital neuralgia for 9 months now. Episodes seem further apart. Physio and massage improved things, but I do my own massage of my face and head every morning and night and walk daily. If you have this, hang in there. It does get better!
also - if you need another place for insights and tips We have a free 30 minute powerpoint to help you better understand what is going on in both of these links below and if you feel the program can help then you can follow through with the program.

@@Aidilyn What do you mean?
The example with the shoulder is literally what has happened to me. I even ended up impinging other nerves next to my neck. This stuff is scary when you don't know what's going on. Thanx for the video 👍
You're welcome!
Lockdown and working from home has started this!
@Rafael Marques THC
Agreeded
also mine
To me too. 😳
Sammeee omg
It's so painful and scary, I can't take it anymore 😭
Awande Shozi me to I tried suicide because the back dr wouldn’t even tell me I had this an refer me they only send me what they practice
Hang in there, I've had these for over 20 years, and yes so do I, focus on the good side. My only saving grace is after dealing with these headaches, what else can life throw at me, seriously? I get tourchered every day, like you, and people around me are upset about spilt milk. Hold that thought.
ian yea where I live the older people bully me I’m going to start beating people up because I can’t move an they won’t stop making fun of my life issues that they dabbled in gossip in. Don’t need to be laughed at with this pain god is going to send me to jail because he’s not fixing shit to help get me out no matter how much I try
@@magicalindigoadult3838 well.. I'm not sure how old you are, but yeah beating people up deffinatly won't help your situation, it will most certainly worsen it. That being said, fuck what people say, *your* the only one who has to live your life and deal with the consequences of your actions, so it's all up to you in this life, no matter what anyone said. Doesn't mean you can't find allies and friends along the way in your battle. No one but you can fix this problem, as shitty as that sounds, do research, try new things, quiet your mind and listen to your body.
I have bouts, sometimes years, I can go without these headaches, they can go away. But it requires time and attention to *yourself*
Go on a retreat, stop talking to people, start listening to your own intuition on what *you* need to do.
Best of luck Magic.
same here :[ right this moment
What I found really helped with me is massage of shoulder blade, traps, right side of spine in the neck, back of head, temples and other areas of the face. I use a baseball for this purpose. To get my shoulder blade and traps I basically grind the the tender areas into a door jamb pressing against the ball. The first time you do this it might actually feel worse because of the massage but once the worked muscles heal I found that I go a long time without having this headache. OTC drugs are useless. And so are a lot of these doctors.
@jen1762 hi did you fix the problem?
Reel guy TV may I ask if you what u mean by "door jamb"?
@@rgasta7765 the frame of the door. I have since done a lot of life style changes and for the first time in 20 years I am finally free of medication and pain killers.
@@ReelGuyTv I get it. I will try this. Did your pain disappear for good?
@@rgasta7765 the baseball I was using flattened out I started using a metal tapered showerhead. It doesn't slip and roll as much.
Most days are pain free. When I do have an episode it's manageable without drugs and I don't miss work.
Some of the other things I did was thoracic rotations, diet (keto) and adapted a fasting lifestyle. I started going on 16 hr fasts a day but now I just do OMAD. During my fasts I make teas with stinging nettle and feverfew. Also ginger and turmeric teas. That's as close to medicine I get.
SHE'S THE BEST 😭 MY DUMBASS DOCTOR/ CHIROPRACTOR COULDN'T PICTURE WHAT I WAS TALKIN ABOUT🤦♂️ HAD TO SHOW HIM THIS THANKS
yes those photographs of optic nerve was so explanatory of problem. My doctor is also a dumbass.
@@RabinSharma1 they know. They just wanna take the short cut and tell you some easy shit for you to believe. I have mines on and off. 2 to 3 months at a time
I'm in the same boat with doctors. They act like it is a migraine (although it could feel like that, it is not the same pathology) or cluster headaches. A doctor I had years ago nailed it, unfortunately she moved.
Yeah u r right
Fuck doctors me and my homies hate doctors
My mother had a fall last December,but her neuralgia became occipital neuralgia and no doctors know how to deal with it. She has lost 2 stone and get major eye pain which makes her eye go red with nerve pain!
Thank you for this info as it helps us better understand!
You are a life changer! For 4 years ive seen so many drs of all kids and no one could figure out whats going on. I found you by accident today and you have been spot on. I cannot thank you enough! These drs made me feel crazy.
Same here, 18 months and no one could help me.
@@bigbadwolf200335 have you tried dry needling? It's the only thing that helps me when the pain gets so bad. Dry needling is like acupuncture, but works 100x better for me.
@@ilovemymike100 I had needle one time some how in my room n I was tapping it on my chest making a large circle and I felt a really decent sensation in the back of my head, I kept typing tho eventually stopped felt great now, weeks later without the needle I'm feeling like 1-5% of that pain without one
At work I always have my phone on the table and looking down at it with my neck bent... Now I have this.

Does anyone get a throbbing headache with the burning scalp where you feel your sinuses are affected? Also your head actually feels hot to touch?
@@starlite7785 Me but it hurts when i run, and it hurts so fucking much. Yes sinus burns, or nose i should say.
@@starlite7785 this is what i am feeling for almost 2 days.
Thanks for this video.
Now I've got a name for what I'm suffering. The pains are frequent and excruciatingly painful. Makes my whole body twitch.
I thought I was just experiencing random aging type pain that Drs. wouldn't take seriously. I'm 65.
I have loads of stress and anxiety.
Thanks
Max Valentine do you have mold in your home?
@@kathymyers7279 omg u mentioned mould?! I was digging some roots out a vine that was growing around trees n its own bush quit thick under the leaves were alot of mould, airbon mould that got flung around n splashed under logs n on roots n I started sneezing my, my nos began to sting a tiny bit as if I was cold n it was itchy too a lil n my lip n the next day I stared to get a headache
I found this a good explanation of all the areas needed to be worked on in order to help one's self with headaches & particular problems in the head/neck. Of course any physiotherapy involves patient compliance with the exercises and proper posture in order to re-align and build up the body structures to support itself properly. Thank you.
One of the most painful things I’ve experienced
On my fifth day and see doctor tomorrow I have had 3 whiplashes and have disk issues in neck and upper back..
@@saltywisdom did you get any better?
I’ve visited an osteopath, recommended to me by my doctor. He is not doing much, like chiropractor that does manipulation or deep tissue massage. He does it slowly, without much movement, but somehow it’s been very helpful. He uses a lamp for warming up the area and acupuncture, some mild, subtle head movements and adjusts my shoulders a bit…it has helped me so much! Please don’t ignore this, the sooner you help your body the better, otherwise it might be too late. Nerves are very sensitive, so please listen to this lady!
Thank you, I just got diagnosed with this after being treated for years for sinus infections, migraines and cluster headaches even PMS. I'm so happy that there's actually a name to it.
Same as me Gina, I kept thinking I was going to have a stroke!
@@margaretmitchell5827 Wow, so did I a few times, I actually thought my head would burst or have an aneurysm. This truly needs to be more out there !
I am dealing with the same thing. What relieved the pain for you?
@@flourgirl08 nothing really does and I'm sorry you have this...I recently got on Celebrix and it's amazing but not a miracle, almost tho...I still move slow and have pain...muscle relaxers help and muscle cream rubbed on my scalp and forehead, temples, or Vicks....yes I'm serious
I found exercise helped.
In particular:
Cardio to get the blood going
Weight training to strengthen shoulders and body overall.
Yoga to help stretch out all the muscles.
Since COVID I haven't been going to gym. I still do run and do yoga at home, but I'm starting to suffer more and more with upper back and neck tension due to weakness in the muscles.
So if you're reading this, try getting to the gym and work on your whole body.
Me too. No gym due to lockdown and I am chronically ill due to neck pain and referred pain in the head.
Biking is great 👍 makes a huge difference. Mabye even a cure
Did you fix the problem?
@@ismailsenior111 well I don't get daily headaches like in my early twenties to I think it worked.
@@the_real_hislordship did you take any medication?
Super informative, and “knowing someone who can integrate this.”
For years doctors told me I had just “had anxiety” and never even bothered to try and look for something like this
I had this problem a few years ago. It came on rapidly starting with tenseness in my neck, like a cramp, to a sharp pain in the back of my neck, then shot up to the top of my head. It felt like the top of my skull had split open! It was the worst pain I had ever experienced. I couldn't stand for more than 10 minutes without the pain being too overwhelming. If I stood any longer than that I would sometimes vomit from the pain. I went to see a doctor. They did an x-ray and a spinal tap to see if my brain was bleeding. The tests came back negative and I was diagnosed with migraine headaches. The pain continued for a couple of weeks which led me to miss a few days of work. Out of desperation, I took the advice of a coworker to visit a chiropractor. After my first chiropractic adjustment the pain was gone instantly never returned. Might be a good idea for some people here. It definitely worked for me!
Same here, almost exactly the same. And I too went to my Chiropractor for relief. EPIC failure by the ER and my Primary Care physician who just pushed pills on me and told me to go away. I'm not a junkie pill shopping I was seeking answers and relief. Chiropractic is the only thing that worked to reset my skull onto my neck properly.
Hi Paul!
I literally felt the same thing due to a deep cough i made , they did a CT scan and want to do a spinal tap on me, which I refused. They said I may have had a Sub Hemmorage.
I went to the GP and they sent me back to have a spinal tap.
What do you suggest I say to the chiropractor? Or should I get a spinal tap just to make sure?
I do feel stiffness in the neck and more sleepy that usual.
Ahmed Raza ahmed how you got helped finally?
Ahmed Raza sorry for the late response but I’d definitely suggest visiting a chiropractor and let them know what’s going on. After my first chiropractic adjustment it felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me.
Me and my wife just had a baby in December and let me tell you what, I don’t understand how every single mothers neck isn’t wrecked. Bending down for this toddler is killing me but also keeping me living. Catch 22
I got this when my kid became a toddler... been chronic for over a month now
Mine is a throbbing or piercing Kind of pain from the base of the head to the top. Sometimes it feels like an electric shock. Anyway it so difficult to handle.
how bad is it and how long does it last? I've been getting the same thing and my scalp feels really sensitive
Same
literally have exactly this but constant throbbing pain , did you ever find out what caused it or receive a diagnosis ?
Same
@@paigebrosnan2276 I'm gettin the same thng it goes away thn come bck after I eat it do tht to u too?
Jesus I been dying in pain so long from this please be close to me
I’ve had pain for almost 2 weeks, thought I was having migraines. I googled it yesterday and knew this was what I have. Finally saw my Doctor today and he confirmed it!! Thanks for the video, very helpful!
You're welcome! Glad this video helped you.
Do you still have the headache ?
Where abouts do you have the pain
This is the WORST thing that has ever happened to me! I just want to be healed. 😢

Been having this shit for 2 weeks. Literally don't know what to fucking do. This making living literally suck ass.
@@TeamxiLLeSt how you doing now??
@@licqers After seeing about 3 different doctors one finally prescribed me a medicine called "Gabapentin" literally made every symptom I had disappear and I finally enjoy life again. Wouldn't wish that head pain on literally anyone.

Thank you so much for the info. Every littel bit helps
guys i'm having this quite for a while let me tell you first don't be panic you need to do everyday Neck stretching and it helps you alot .The main thing is you need to improve your posture overtime
so do you have a bump on the back of ur head? and it’s like a bone? i’ve been looking for certain things and i’m nervous asf, and i’m only 17. should i see a docter or just fix my posture ?
@@jessiejames8450 have you fix the problem?
@@ismailsenior111 yess. the bump is still there but my posture is better and i’m more comfortable with it now. it was mainly stress getting to me. if you have any other questions i can help :)
@@jessiejames8450 just neck exercise no any medication? Does gym help to fix it?
@@ismailsenior111 yeah i didn’t take any medication, mainly bc the pain wasn’t bad at all. i was just uncomfortable, but yes the gym helps. not only physically but mentally. are you experiencing any pain??
My neurologist, after doing an MRI, said that my Greater Occipital Neuralgia is caused by the blood vessels being wrapped too tightly around the nerves. I have suffered with debilitating pain in the back of my head (both sides) that feels like a baseball bat slamming into my head with each heartbeat. It also spreads to my forehead and behind my eyes.
The ONLY thing that helps is injections into that nerve cluster... narcotics at the ER don't help, heat/cold don't help, massage makes it worse, lying down makes it worse. I JUST had a seven day Greater Occipital Neuralgia episode that just about killed me. I had the injections yesterday and that pain is gone (though I have a terrible regular migraine today, of course 🙄).
I've had migraines since I was four (I'm now 44yrs old), as well as tension headaches and chronic sinus headaches. I had sinus surgery twice and get Botox every two months, along with a plethora of medications.
I would not have gone through ANY of these extreme treatments of PT and/or chiropractic had made a lick of difference. I would be very, very interested to know what you do differently from the PT I've had over the past 25 years - if there was a way to prevent recurring flare ups (besides the injections - which usually give relief for two to six months - and medications), I would love to find it!!
That's the first time I've read about the blood vessels and might explain how i discovered some relief from my pain, basically i went to the gym and started on the exerc bike and got my heart beat up for around 45 min and sweated it out at full speed, when id finished my headache was gone, but i could explain how that stopped my headache
For me is a inflammation of the nerve, thats goes through the occipital. And inyections has help me a little, because I'm still getting the pain. But less fricuent, also I'm taking TUMERIC capsules, to keep inflammation under control. Try them out .
@@isabelescobar7384 my biggest break through was when I did a 45 min workout on a stationary bike and sweated it out, for some reason that deadened my headache then I picked up an extra hard contoured pillow and that stretched my neck all night for relief the next day. I also started to mix in shrugs and other exercises focused on the neck and shoulders then worked down. I'm about 70% free of headache now, if I get less sleep then 6 hours it comes back or a big day out with lots of activity in the city, I might get it back in the arvo.
True about sleep, i notice that also. This confirme me that i am not crazy.
@@isabelescobar7384 my pain transmits from the right side base of the skull around c2 and If I sleep with that side down it kills me, I assume the inflamed occipital nerve is getting squashed therefore I can only sleep on my left side. It's as ass but for my sake I have had to get used to it
This is EXACTLY what I have and a specialist finally after 6 years of no answers to my condition diagnosed me with. I had a really bad fall on some ice and I'd landed on the crown of my head (I know, ouch!) and the muscles never fully healed. Now my pain perfectly mimics someone who has Fibromyalgia. Only more targeted to certain areas. Neck, shoulder/shoulder blades and lower back. And I'm extremely prone to flare ups. Which drop me to my knees and make me cry like a newborn baby! I'm so happy to FINALLY have a name to what I have!! Thank you for this video!! Because now, I can educate others and they can see for themselves that this is REAL.
How did you fix the problem?
@@ismailsenior111 Unfortunately Occipital Neuralgia is not curable. It's something you just learn to live with. Some people cope with pain relievers and anti-spasm medication while others need physical therapy or nerve blockers. It depends on the individual. But it's not something that can be fixed unfortunately
@@whispermeadows you mean no any changes from you
@@ismailsenior111 Unfortunately no. It's a condition I'm going to have for the rest of my life 😔
@@whispermeadows how did you get the condition?
Very Intelligent approach to A common problem. I'm a Electrical contractor and I'm working owner. 24 years in the trade and getting older! LOL. I have dealt with this Nerve compression and the pain is debilitating.
Lots of treatments and all are very individualized and good. Thank you for helping people with these issues.
Please be well and Healthy.
You're welcome! We're glad this video helped you.
I have a sharp feeling behind my head sometimes in my neck its annoying when it happens i get angry and it happens at school too
Stop stressing. That’s a big part of it. And always check your posture.
@[RD]popcornZ damn
Thank you for an excelelnt explanation of the anatomy of this area. I've been tormented from a Platysma-TMJ Dystonia and beleive this is an occiptal issue also. Thanks for this and I wll call your office.
I feel that area is heating up with pain, it's like something moving inside so quickly and something is pinching or piercing in a particular nerve, hell! It blurs my eyes and makes me dull and dizzy! 😪
How are you now ?
@@KennTv408 It's still there with me, think I'm married with it now! 😊😉☣️
Oh, that breaks my heart! 💔
Antara Vaishnavi I know how you feel sorry that your still going through this cycle, did you talk to any doctors?
@@antaravaishnavi dont worry we're in this together :))
How you feeling now?
very informative. Thank you. I just started having this signs from yesterday. I jump into TH-cam by typing throbbing ache at back of neck. I have been suffering sciatica , midback muscle and spine issues. left neck too. I thought I was having a stroke. I also saw alleviating massages from other sites. I was getting chiropractic therapy.it helped. so again, you have been very informative. Thank you
How it is now?
Omg this is how I was yesterday so depressed already crying because I thought I had tumor🤦🏻♀️ but I remembered that my whole headache started ever since this popping sensation ever since that day I have bad headache
I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and just started having Occipital Nerve headaches. My current doctor want to treat them with Occipital Nerve Blocks, I am hesitant to do this. I am more holistic than clinical medicine. This is very helpful!
My Doctor want to do the same thing. What did you end up doing for your pain.
These nerves and muscles have to be treated by someone who knows how to treat them. Great. Thanks lady
I've gone to Chiropractors for years and even worked for one
She has shared more info than I ever heard from any physician.
Great job...
Thank you
Is it possible to have this just from having bad posture ? I’ve been trying to fix it as best I can and also tend to crack my neck to both sides a lot .. the pain goes from the top of my neck to the back of my eyes . Basically through the top of my cranium , and forehead. Also it doesn’t hurt any more or less when applying pressure to my head / neck
Hola Dr thanks for the video, do you know any on New York ?
This explanation has actually helped me. Sadly I can't come into your practice as I don't live in the US.
I wish you where a little closer! This is me!! I have been suffering for many years and all i get is 'lets zap the nerves' at the Rothmans and such. I feel in my gut a shoulder injury plays a roll in my condition as well. Slight winging on the right scapula and severe muscles knots under the right scapula as well.
Hey, I live at Drexil Hill, pa. Idk if we can get in contact with everything thats going on..
thanks doc, clearly explained, and you're a beauty
That's exactly my occipital pain started. I suffer a trauma from a fall. 2 years later the pain begins, and for 15 years it was treated as migraines, this occipital pain its bedridden me for days.
Yes,I was also told it's migraine but it's not migraine at all
this is what i’m thinking is going on exactly with me, so will
i be okay? lol
Exactly what I have. Experienced a bad fall 12 years ago and it’s been hell ever since. Every time it flairs up I start projectile vomiting and it’s executing! It takes medication and 3 days of bed rest before it subsides. It really is debilitating😪
@CJ. Feel your pain dude. I have somewhat same experiences on a weekly basis. The doctors I've seen did nothing but x-rays. This lady seems to have an idea why some these occur. All I can tell you is seek and educate yourself about your triggers and keep looking for someone who really knows how to treat your particular illness. There are many types of migraines. Good luck.
This put at ease so much. I’ve been stretching and my neck has a lot more movement and at random I’ll get electrical sharp pain through my head and I do feel like the base of my skull is weakened from some reason. I think It popped or snapped to where it caused a super migraine. Anyways THC helped me soooo much!!! It’s allowed my neck and shoulder rehabilitation and I’m back at the gym again and managing with simple pain meds when needs and taking meds to help me sleep so I can recover well because I stress as I lay in bed.
Thank you for your nice explanation and demonstration.
Would a sports massage therapist help? I had concussion after hitting my head last year and it’s only this year got worse on one side of my head pressure non stop and numbness tingling feeling. Medication are not helping I still feel it if not more. I am in the UK xx
i also got a cuncuccion in 96 still have problems with right occipital nerve.from right head trauma
could all my pain as what you explained in this video be due to grinding my teeth / tight jaw
thank you kindly for making this highly informative video .
Thank you very much.I now know from what I am suffering.A great help.
you need to add into the reasons for ON being cervical arthritis.
Let me describe my pain
It feels like my top of head is being shocked or it’s vibrating and it makes me nauseous
EDIT:The brain shocks went away i havent had one
I think we have the same feelings I am vibrating and i feel tremors in my arms and knees
How are you feeling now ? I get shocks in back of head
@@KennTv408 they disappeared i don’t know how
KoolaidDinkyTV did you only get them on the top of your head
@@KennTv408 it was like on top of the head they would last for 2 seconds i thought it was a seizure but its not i would had lost control it just made nauseous cause i would get surprised and so my heart raced and that made me sick
Wow. You hit the bullseye. Some car accidents when I was younger . Along from being super active. Weightlifting everyday then to nothing once COVID hit and I sat watching tv for 2 months.. It’s all makes sense.
I'd like to know what I just felt, i was laying down and started sneezing and my head went forward while sneezing and on the 3rd one I had like a pop or pull sensation at the back right side of my head and felt it all the way down to my neck and shoulder
When I lift my eyebrows it hurts when I get that sometimes
Mine started with ear pain then neck and shoulder pain and now I started feeling si joint pain plz tell m it is the cause
Could this have been caused from having vein surgery? I noticed this pain after after vein abolation and I think they hit a nerve, which felt like an electric shock.
Omg..thank you so much. 1 year , several blood tests ,x-rays , MRI & 4 doctors couldn't figure this out !...I've had to research it myself.
You're welcome! We're glad this video helped you.

Can someone tell me if its possible for a 12 year old to have it?
Yes. My daughter is 15, she has had it since an auto accident when she was 11. Kids get this.
Being a kid fucking sucked. Nobody took you seriously and you didn't have say in anything. Itll get better when you're older. Just try to enjoy being a kid

@@RebalancePhysicalTherapy i really need you to answer, i have a bump on the back of my head (in the lower middle of my head) known as occipital bun and i just want to know if i’ll be ok in general? do i need to worry about this? i’m only 17 and i’m not sure what to think, this video did help tho. just need some relief :/
@@jessiejames8450 how long ago did this happen. Were you born with it or from an injury? I'm 61 and have had a bump from scar tissue on the back of my head since junior high. I get these terrible headaches now from exertion. Working out used to be my stress relief. Just curious.
THIS IS TH BEST EXPLANATION, THANK YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭
You're welcome!
feel like have this but would need to see a doctor its in the same spot but it only effects my left side of my head and left eye a guard tackeled me at a hospital head hit the wall had to get a ct but didnt find anything
mine is something like an electric shock after a sudden movement of my head/neck and the right nerve kinda shoots that electric shock thingy and the pain is like the 1st and 2nd image. Where I experience a burning sensation over the head and ear but only on the right part.
It’s EXACTLY the same thing for me ! I’ve started experiencing this every few months when I was about 7. Never went to any doctors because for me it lasts a second and occurs only once every few months, but today I had FOUR of these in a day, it’s so scary that just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy
It happened to me playing basketball today, I landed awkwardly and somehow flexed my head too far to the left, it's happened before but today it was extremely painful and intense to the point that I was actually scared for my life or that I might have to go to the hospital, luckily the pain usually subsides completely after about a half hour, and I'm okay now but I would be better if this never happens to me again
Brain zaps

I have kyphosis due to Scheuermann's disease or a Congenital deformity. This in turn has created CN. This is the best explanation I have ever heard! 👏👏👏
We're glad this video helped you!
Omg, this video is like a calling, and explains so much to why I'm suffering. Can you please suggest someone in Missouri that I could get an appointment with? This stuff has completely ruined my life
Been having this tension headache on my temples every day since November. Along with neck pain. Doctors only give me Ibuprofen 800 milligram and muscle relaxers. I feel that sometimes over the counter med does nothing to me. I can’t take it any longer.
Any relief I'm suffering here?
I've had sore suboccipital muscles and back of skull for a year and half now. It's a constant pressure that causes dizziness, light headedness, eye strain. I've done the chin tucks, stretches nothing works. Totally miserable
Paul is it better now? :..(
@@ebd813 yes!! Thank God. Turns out wearing my glasses while sitting at the computer was the problem. It was causes absolutely horrible pains in the back of my head and dizziness. I finally figured it out.
Paul Was it your prescription? Did you stop wearing glasses? What did you do?
@@fudgecake76 I just stopped wearing my glasses while at the computer. My prescription is okay.

Great video 👍 thanks for sharing!
I have this it’s so painful my head is always feeling like my head is burning
Aminah A .. I have chronic neck/ shoulder pain which caused headaches and facial pain.
Try using an Infared sauna or Bikram yoga. Posture correction and neck stretches are important. Definitely eliminate cracking your neck if doing that. + Dry needling and massage therapy from someone who knows what they’re doing (as mentioned in video) will help
Yes!!! The burning & scalp/skull pain is horrible! I have a concussion & been dealing with this for exactly one month now. I'm hoping this goes away on its own VERY soon!!!! 9/30/18 @ 8:48P.
@@WhatTheFk09 Omg I've been dealing with scalp pain and pain in the back of my head for years!!! Literally it was SO painful. How are you doing now? Has any of your pain gone away?
WhiteWolf Goddess Yes, still dealing with it. I went 2 weeks with no scalp/skull burning pain & thought I was done with it. I did a little work from home yesterday & the stress from that triggered it. I hope this isn't a long term problem as it's NO fun @ all! 10/17/18 @ 4:46P.
I wanna be FIT! Omg I have post concussion syndrome as well it’s a living nightmare
I have this kind of pain in my head plus body trembling :( cant sleep well at night.
Maybe its just the side effect of tomuch consumption of alcohol I guess?
@@jkristianmagante-villa5671 same for me can u help me
This is exactly what I need. If anyone knows of any physical therapist competent in this precise body area (as she recommends in the video) in Montreal, please let me know.
I’m 100% this is what I’ve been dealing with the past almost 2 years since June 2022 chronically non stop. My doctors think it’s IIH, but listening to these videos the past three days this seems like what it is minus the headaches. I have the burning sensation in my brain non stop. This starts out in my neck and works its way up in to my head. Feels like my head is gonna fall off my body.
I started having itchiness on both side in my head and later after 4 days I started having back pain just as something squeezing me and now I have severe headaches in forehead,both sides and back pain on upper neck including nausea.
Hi Nat, how are you now?
salman all the way I’m totally fine thanks God and thanks for asking .
I’m like this too my headache is really bad I even thought I have tumor but no This is what I have
Soo do you have brain tumour ?
Nat Genesis no no I don’t I’m saying that I was so traumatized that idk what I have but I remembered my headache started when I moved my head fast and then I felt this popping/burning sensation on the back of my head. And then the next day I had headaches I’m dizzy and even my sinus area hurts but I have this problem
Been dealing with this for over a month. Comes and goes and the burning/pressure sensation kicks in when I lay straight on the back of my head. It’s a mix of soreness inflammation and dizziness in the eyes. Such an annoying process...
Same hear it started as localized pressure on my right side of brain and now i can't put ANY pressure on my right side when i lay down to "sleep" because i feel shooting electric shock. Ive gone up to 3 days without being able to sleep. It is debilitating and ruining my life
And I feel it when I get up
I had fallen flat on my back in 2017 and at the time was fine but a year later developed extreme pain in my Occipital nerve! Sleeping on my back and putting pressure on the back of my head wakes me up most mornings!

This is the clearest explanation I have ever heard! Thank you! Mine started in 2006 with a snowmobile accident:.., and a long history of other things so I have had severe issues for years and been hurt worse by PT! I was just diagnosed with this about a month ago.I would gladly follow your TH-cam !
Oh a chiropractor neck manipulation!!! Great went for something else came out with this!! The pain just doesn’t goooo!
I have this, and I hate it. and I thought there would be a solution
Will wearing a neck support help?
I practice meditation, have been for a long time, does this contribute to the pain.
It doesn't help me; anything touching my neck or head, even if it's as light and simple as a dainty necklace, will irritate my neck and head.

i don't want explanation of what's going on, where's come from. I need treatment and remedy. straight to the point of how to be cured.
Ikr lol we are being tortured
nerve decompression surgery
Vieve nah u must be out ur mind... Lol
I mean, this is literally the procedure I (and many other people) have had. Look it up. There are dozens of Occipital Neuralgia support groups. This surgery (among others: surgical nerve excision, nerve stimulator implant surgery, etc.) is the best cure there is out there, for this condition. Ask any neurosurgeon.
If you don't know what's causing it then you can't stop it happening again. Listen and learn.
Mine started 10 years ago, in the gym, lifting heavy weight... since then... everytime if I stress my trap muscles etc bam! headache!
jamil1985 mines the exact same , I’ve had it now for a little over a year . Can’t shift it , how do you deal with it ?
Deal with it??....hmmm...most of the time im in pain..when it starts it doesn't go away, I have to take a pain killer (Neurofen) it helps for a while then it will start again after a week or two. Ive seen Chiropractors which did temporarily help. Ive seen literally every alt treatments, nothing cured it..Drs say its a mechanical injury (whatever that means) but its to do with muscles and nerve which is very difficult to see in MRi etc. Im always doing stretches for the trap muscles... massages and so on....some times it helps other times it doesn't. I have done trigger point injections doesnt help, but this time I had enough and im going to go for Occipital Nerve Block see how that goes because i know its deffo these Nerves that create the THROBBING pain. If it works then I'll see Radio Frequency or Occipital Nerve release surgery.
jamil1985 thank you for replying
I believe I might have the same thing. Mine was caused by weight lifting and is brought on by lifting heavier daily objects such as heavy groceries. It doesn't hurt at all though if I don't do these actives and pain usually doesn't start until the following day
When I did hack press yesterday I got it.
I recently experienced this suddenly mid set of my squats had some light wight 4 45 plates not all of a sudden had a sharp pain in my head now anytime i push at all
I’ve had this now for 7 years. The first time I had I just stretched my neck and it went away. Since that episode, once in a week or two maybe I got this pain. The last weeks, I studied all day in front a computer with bad posture, now the pain came and dont go away. I cant deal with that anymore. It makes my days very sad and I dont feel happy with anything. Please, someone give me some tip to deal with that. Sorry for my english. Thanks.
I started to correct my posture when I'm studying or working, now I almost don't have the pain. This is my tip. Maybe in the begin you'll get uncounfortable sitting in a correct way. But it will worth it.
Does you get a throbbing migrane with the burning scalp where you feel your sinuses are affected? Also your head actually feels hot to touch?
I’m in such pain...and no one is helping.
And now being on Medicaid no one new wants to accept me...

But I thought govt healthcare was the answer to everything. You want all doctors to accept whatever the state says they should? Will you work for me at a 50% discount?

hi Robert
how are you now a year later ???
@@AlanMcCarthyguitar better pain wise
Been doing Prolotherapy...
Only thing is my muscles are atrophied in some areas and Occipital muscles are not healthly..
I believe I have above C1 to get treated with Prolotherapy (likely I'll go with Regenexx)...
Other than that it's just undoing the years of mental decline it causes.
How about yourself?
You explained exactly what I feel!
i’m feeling numbness for days, left side, stiff neck shoulder and weak arm. I always crack my upper back super hard and stare at my phone downwards for hours...can i have this?

she is very informative

When i started exercises in lockdown at home im going through head burns. It feels likes hot fumes coming out of my scalp n ears. After applying oil i feel somewhat good. Should i stop exercising n im looking forward to join a gym
This sounds like what I have. I have pressure behing my head in the back, pressure around and behing my left eye,my temples and something in my nose . Im having a MRI this week. Yoga has definitely helped me. Ive started to feel so back pain. And if my doctor can help, im coming to see u guys ❤
how was it? what's the result l? we have the same symptoms
@@lemongrab5656 good news its not atumor or cancer. But a slight inflammation on my left side.they say its a tension headache however they referred me to a jaw doctors, TMD to see if my jaw is causing the pressure or irritation. Also the jaw doctor consulted the radiation doctor, the are confused because they are rwallg not seeing anything.. but now my right temple is a little swollen. I heard aspirin reduces inflammation so im going to try that. I had my next appointment next week to know whats for sure 👍. Yoga helps. Ill update you with my next appointment this week.
@@lemongrab5656 my MRI results here. Subtle ill-defined asymmetrically increased inflammatory left masticator space enhancement extending to the level of the left foramen ovale of uncertain etiology. No associated mass lesion. Subtle asymmetric enhancing edema involving the anterior margin of the left lateral pterygoid muscle may be related
@@lemongrab5656 also this help relive some pressure as well....
