A stabbing pain in the back of the head - Occipital headache treatment review

One day, I suddenly got a headache.

I received treatment for my occipital headache through a Korean medicine clinic and a neurosurgery clinic, and I am now completely better.

We share the symptoms of occipital headaches, which are different from common migraines and headaches, and reviews of occipital headache treatments.

 

One day suddenly I had a headache that felt like a needle was poking me in the back of my head, and it felt like an electric shock. It was.

The pain would appear at any time without warning, and at times it would be so severe that I would scream out "Ah!" without realizing it. The pain in the back of my head was so intense.

Taking headache medications like Tylenol and Gevorin didn't help at all. All I could do was wait for the pain to go away.

 

I did a search and found that the symptoms of occipital neuralgia were exactly the same as mine.

Occipital headaches are neurogenic and cannot be seen on MRI or CT scans, so they are judged based solely on symptoms. Because information came out that it was possible

I went to a Korean medicine clinic to treat my headache, thinking that it would get better over time if it was judged only as a symptom.

 

Treatment methods for headaches at Oriental medicine clinics include physical therapy, acupuncture, Chuna, and herbal medicine. There is this

First, I started with physical therapy and acupuncture.

I worked so hard that I had a mark on the back of my neck after receiving physical therapy...

I felt better after receiving it, but it didn't completely get better even after two weeks, so I ended up going to a neurosurgeon.

The neurosurgeon said that it might be a herniated disc in the neck, so they wanted to take an X-ray first.

The results showed no abnormalities on the X-ray.

After consulting with the doctor again, I was diagnosed with a headache because my symptoms were so clear.

Causes of headaches include bad posture, joint problems, forward head posture, and stress, but I think it's mostly due to posture and stress.

 

Neurosurgery Treatment of Occipital Headache is drug treatment, injection treatment, surgery I had this problem, so I decided to try taking medication first, and got a prescription.

But sadly, I didn't get better right away after taking the medicine.

The symptoms started to subside very slowly, and after about two weeks, the tingling sensation almost disappeared, and I stopped taking the medicine after taking it for exactly three weeks.

Thankfully, the stabbing pain has completely disappeared. I wish I had gone to a neurosurgeon sooner. I regret the time I spent at the Oriental medicine clinic, but thanks to that treatment, the neurosurgeon's treatment for my occipital headaches may have been more effective.

I am positive that my headache got better with medication rather than surgery.

 

But after that, the headache symptoms disappeared. I started to develop the aftereffect of getting a headache immediately after sitting in an uncomfortable position for even a short time.

If you experience these symptoms like I did, please go to a neurosurgeon right away and get treatment for your headache.
