Hi! Newbie with a question
Hi,
Obviously a years-long sufferer of migraines. Tried almost everything except Botox as insurance won’t cover. Most medications either don’t work or I had to stop due to significant rise in blood pressure. Long story short—a provider covering for my usual provider gave me a Occipital Neuralgia Nerve Block injection yesterday and it almost immediately took the intense throbbing and light sensitivity away—I was so elated and hopeful for the first time in years! But it was short-lived; within 5 hrs my blazing migraine returned. I did talk to the provider who said that it could actually take a couple of days to take full effect, but that is contrary to what I read online that the nerve block injection should work immediately. I’d love to know if anyone out there had an occipital neuralgia nerve block injection and when did you get relief? TIA
Hi
- thanks so much for posting your question. My hope is that people will join in the conversation soon to share their experience with nerve blocks. We do have a story written by talking about how this type of nerve block affected them. Check it out here: https://migraine.com/stories/occipital-nerve-injections. There is also an older forum post with some people sharing their experience. You can find that here: https://migraine.com/forums/occipital-nerve-block. Hope that's a good start to hearing some more perspectives.
Warmly, - Cody (Team Member)Thank you!
