I have it to when that nerve aches I have severe miagrane headaches this is awful. It started last year and it got better about a month ago it came back out of nowhere with a vengeance. I see a neurologist to. I had 1steroid injection no help .Actually they give 2needles at one time. I have two more sessions if I decide to get them. Mine is chronic how about your condition.

[Linley]

Yes, I have heard of it in relation to a pinched nerve(s) in the neck

[Marlayna]

Yes I have a very serious case of it. I have had multiple steroid and lidocaine injections in my neck. I have also had two nerve ablations. I take painkillers for breakthrough pain. The tinnitus preceded the ON by several decades, but I’m sure the compression and pain does not help..

I now a bad case of occipital nauralgia I’ve had steroid injections also . I’m suppose to go back and have 2 more sessions the first injections didn’t help I’m not sure if I’m going to continue with the injections should I? Did the injections help you? I was reading about the surgery I will text the name of it I forgot . I would like your opinion . What kind of pain killers are you taking? Be very careful there very addictive I know we need them for pain. I would like to get rid of this condition Um afraid of surgery I know there side effects. The procedure you had done didn’t help ?
