⚡The rare headache - occipital neurologia

Показать описание

Occipital neuralgia is a rare neurological condition that involves shooting, shocking, throbbing, burning, or aching pain and headache that generally starts at the base of the head and spreads along the scalp on one or both sides of the head. It involves the occipital nerves, which run from the area where the spinal column meets the neck, up to the scalp at the back of the head.

Occipital neuralgia is a rare headache disorder. It affects an estimated 3 out of 100,000 people each year, meaning fewer than 250,000 people experience occipital neuralgia worldwide.

Diagnosis of occipital neuralgia is usually done through a physical and neurological exam, along with diagnostic imaging. A nerve block (in which a local anesthetic and steroid drug are injected into the area around the nerve) may help with diagnosis. Treatment options include medications, steroid injections, heat, and surgery.

I was diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia in late 2018, and I have never met anybody with this condition!

I also, barely found ANYTHING on occipital neurologia on YouTube as personal stories from patients!

it's frustrating to look at happy patients' testimonies..I barely ever buy them as they sound part of that institution's agenda...I want to get in touch with real people...real stories!

so please comment down below on the subject if you know anybody or have it yourself 🙏🏼
