Occipital Neuralgia is a condition when an injury or inflammation affects the occipital nerves. These are nerves that run from the top of the spinal cord through the scalp. This condition usually results in having pain in the back of your head, or base of your skull. Due to similar symptoms, this typically can be confused with a migraine. However, it is extremely important to visit a doctor when developing these symptoms so you can get the correct diagnosis.
