I ve visited the doctor here and was told it s called Basal Headache . I got some medications but ther s still no relief. 3weeks ago, I went for a brain scan and nothing was wrong, yet I keep having this grinding headaches. The present one has been on for 4days. Please let me know what might be wrong. Thank you. Martins.
Hello, Occipital neuralgia should be considered as a possible condition that may cause your symptoms. It is linked mainly to irritation of the upper cervical nerves that supply the back and top of the head. In such cases, peripheral injections of anesthetics and corticosteroids is a treatment way that results in significant improvement. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
