What is occipital neuralgia? London Pain Clinic

Descripción:

Occipital neuralgia is one of the most severe forms of nerve or neuropathic pain. You may experience severe headaches, feeling of a tight pulsating sensation over the head or severe stabbing and shooting pains over the top of the scalp. If this describes you, you may be suffering from occipital neuralgia. This painful condition occurs when the occipital nerve that runs from the base of your skull becomes injured, inflamed or irritated. If you suffer from osteoarthritis, diabetes or have had a head injury or cervical disc disease, you may also experience occipital neuralgia. Unfortunately, occipital neuralgia is often misdiagnosed as migraine or another type of headache due to the similarity of symptoms. http://www.londonpainclinic.com/our-services/nerve-pain/head-and-face-pain/occipital-neuralgia/
