I can withstand the occiptial aching pain up to a point, but not with the rest of my body screaming at me. Pain management gave me steroid injections in my lower neck/shoulders and that helped the occipitals for a short time.

I can't get into my family dr til Monday and the pain is a killer. I feel like that is what I have. If it's not one thing it's another.

My occipitals' have been aching for a decade, I never heard term "occipital neuralgia" and have learned something else that's new on the site.
