Anyone else ever experience occipital neuralgia?

My neuro gave me Voltarin gel for it. Put a dab on the section behind your ear. Wear gloves to put it on, so you don't accidentally touch your eyes. It's OTC now.

Yeah, and just let me say- Im sorry. This is so painful and unpredictable and frustrating. Please bring it up to your doc. I have had some mild success in managing mine with Ubrevly and upping vitamin b12 and d.

@A MyMSTeam Member I don't think I can apply anything. A simple touch to my head triggers the pain.

It started Monday. I googled my symptoms & that's what pulled up. I added ms to it & seen it was associated with ms. The pain was so bad I thought something was going to bust in my head & I was going to die. I have an appointment with my pcp today. Hopefully he can help. I can't see my neurologist until the 17th.. nooo way I can wait that long. No way.
