@doctor.painkiller: Occipital nerve blocks for migraine: what & where are we actually injecting? (demo on a plastic model in clinic) #migrainerelief #headacherelief
Excruciatingly painful procedure but once the medication settles (2-3 days for me) it was very effective but it has worn off by now so back to my roller coaster I go with daily migraines:(

Can you have occipital nerve blocks if you’ve done Botox?

I was offered the block at c2 but I'm afraid it's going to make things worse. I've got cervical instability, Ehlers danlos and stenosis in my cervical spine. if it triggers a worsening and prolonged head pain id be useless to my child 😭

I’ve had so many nerve blocks they don’t help. I’ve had Botox injections but ended up having allergic reaction to it. I have occipital neuralgia and I’ve been on every migraine med except the injections you give yourself. Insurance won’t approve it. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Had this today! Got me in asap, took 5 minutes, and it didn’t hurt! My migraine pressure is so bad in back of neck/base of skull, so it was welcomed!

No way ER docs are going to do that, as well as look for lawsuits for nerve damage. Complete assinine try to sway er docs to do it

This was extremely painful for me. I had to fight to not scream out. Is there anyway to make this less painful?
