Can this help with dizziness related to migraine?? As horrendous as the pain is the thr dizziness and balance is worse 😞

My primary doctor suggested that my throbbing pain was due to occipital neuralgia. I've experienced no numbness, or blurred vision. The pain radiates down to my right shoulder blade (same side of throbbing ache). I have been wondering 1. If a chiropractor did an aggressive neck manipulation to have caused my pain or 2. Having my one and only episode of vertigo, caused by a right inner ear infection. Both events happened around the same time, back in 2021, so it's hard for me to truly tell. Nonetheless, I have suffered from throbbing headaches on the back right side of my head and having muscle tightness in my neck...again, radiating down to my right shoulder blade. With all that said, do you suppose I have a herniated disc at the base of my head, instead, that could be causing the pain? I would love some feedback. Thanks.

This video is such a fantastic tutorial. I followed all of the steps except that I didn't have any epinephrine on hand so I made due with some anti-freeze instead. It cleared up my migraines and I'm feeling great now.

Great video. What percent lido are you using? 1?

How is this surgery done if you have already had a chiari decomposion surgery done?

This operation save my life ! Its now five weeks ago that i have my operation ! My professor saved my life 🙏 ! Iam so grateful 🙏 !!!

Five weeks ago i have this operation . The pain was immediately gone ! The professor gave my life back🙏 !!

I have been suffering from intractable chronic migraines since I was 25/26. I am 42 and have tried everything and nothing worked. Migraines are debilitating and destroy your quality of life so I am considering having this surgery done. Migraine pain can be never -ending

I have had headaches everyday and migraines 2-3 times a week for the last 4 years. I take Aimovig which has made my migraines go to 2-3 times a month, but I’m still getting headaches 3-6 times a week. I have tried so many different medications, therapies, imaging, and different treatments, and seen quite a few different doctors and they don’t know what is wrong with me. I have started bringing this procedure up with my pain management doctor and hopefully looking into it… I am losing hope that anything will work.

Can u tell me where is this hospital located

Just cut that nerve and no more migraine occipital nerve gone because i get migraines from the back of my neck tough and i put pressure on the occipital nerve and what a relief if does ,but is that bad to put pressure on the nerve because its so addictive and feels good

Hae am hellen i have the same thing in my hand my left hand can u help me

You didn't mention lateral apex/vertex headaches.

This is a terrific video of the surgery. Thanks so much!

I had this " bilateral greater and lesser and third occipital nerve decompression/avulsion" this is my 4 the day of healing. I am excited. Yes what you said like you have no life. I think yours where worse. I did my in abort shots. Sumatriptan and toradol if needed. The main key was to abort my grains before the group they get all. Sometimes I took pure sets that have barbiturate caffeine and Tylenol worked on the tiny migraines. I never had migraines where I woke up. Went to sleep. Basically I would have bored it and sometimes it would come back the next day once it hits about 5 days. Of course I wait too late to get steroid packet or steroid shot. It's hard to drive all the way across to the big town to get some sort of IV that really didn't work with all the stuff they put in the IV and the doctor want to cut me down to six sumitription shots a month. I said I get over 15 some months like in the winter it would cut down. Basically I'm a weather migraineer but after my neck surgery 2021 I noticed things changed. I start getting like green in my ear. I start getting this blaring pain the back of my neck that if it went up to the back of my head I knew it turned into a migraine. That was something new to me. I never knew that migraines have to do with the nerves wrapped around her head. I kept thinking it was in my behind in my brain. And I wish my migraine specialists would have told me about Vanderbilt hospital plastic surgeon. They did surgery for this. I met the surgeon. I filled out something online cuz I ran into them but accident I don't know how I came about it. It was like a miracle and then they had an appointment and then I was supposed to get some sort of nerve test block cuz they were going to block my nerves on my upper neck for the chronic migraines and possibly burn those nerves every 6 months. And the doctor call me and says do you want to do this? Is it yeah cuz I'm going to file your insurance and they did that department especially trained. Basically Vanderbilt is very well trained to deal with my state insurance and I've been so happy. So I just had my surgery. I'm really not increasing pain, but I hope everybody knows that those nerves outside your head either behind your eye around dry or in your temples or the official nerves in the back. They can't be treated and have surgery to clean up and relieve the pressure it's having. The doctor told me I had a lot of scarring but I swear I was not no sport athlete or been in a bad car accident. I don't know if had to do with me being a kid on roller skates. I remember sliding my back against bricks or somebody pulled my hair real hard when I was little. Who knows. That was only trippy thing. But thank you for your testimony. I could not imagine what you been through off. Couldn't lived throughout your brave young lady.

My back head was cut straight across left to right. Back of my head is numb. No severe pain during the healing process. It's been since the 16th of March and today is 19th of March. I still need to rest cuz I do go to the store and go to another store and when it came home I had to take medicine and lay down carefully and I did fall asleep. As a patient had to keep things light so I really have been doing nothing much. I don't know why my plastic searching cut my head that way compared to your technique. This was done in Vanderbilt plastic surgery center and I was. It was a very good place that I actually accidentally discovered not by my national neuroscience which wish they did refer me. But I found something online and just filled out the form and I got a phone call on the free consultation. It did take my state insurance. They are very well trained to deal with it cuz I have very chronic bad migraines. The doctor found that I had a lot of scarring in occipital nerve area which I don't know why. I had a lot of confidence as well as a doctor to team and anesthesiologist in my surgery and aftercare. It's not much going on. I don't have tubes or drainage. No bleeding. I make sure my hair is washed and cleaned and it kind of just as like a shield over the sutures healing up. Then just leave my hair up in the ponytail cuz I'm very thin hair at this point in my life. If it was thick I would probably put a ponytail in air it out so. That's my hair was up. It'll be leaning against pillowcase and material that I put my head against with mania. They on my sides. And I do a big role of a soft blanket to go under my neck and sit up with a bunch of big pillows and I could sleep on my back a very short time before I go lay on my sides. There may be more surgery, probably near my eye. Top my head or side but that's something to discuss and see if I'm still having front. A call front face to head and temple pain because the Botix talks holds down a lot but it's not perfect for me. I think Botox was only working 25%. Maybe less but I've been on everything and all I am has been on as a support meds, somewhere trips and shots toward all. Only allowed to have one per week. If I had that much returning constant migraine. I created my own migraine kit to in order to have the ER. Even though my neurologist trying to cut me down to six shots a month. So when I discovered about the plastic surgery in Vanderbilt have been very relieved and I might transfer my care to their migraine doctors for I could be open to research in the latest care as long as my insurance will approve it. I like your video and it's very interesting. I just wanted to learn a little bit more

I'm getting this exact surgery tomorrow in the exact points as her. In addition, they're doing it inside my nose since most of my migraines' cause comes from my nose. Hopefully it will go well!

Does that have burning sensation 🤔

Dr I am suffering green mucus from left nostril for past 3 months now 5 days it is smelling very bad .could not talk to a person .is this condition any thing to do with Gastrology .which doctor will be best any idea what my illness symptoms r indicating .pls guide thnks.

That's why I can't be a doctor. Everything looks the same... Red meat, cannot differentiate between muscles, nerve, blood vessels etc

I wonder if we could use needless injector for this procedure.

I request to answer this problem I have been dealing with almost 20+ years. 1. Sometimes during journey, I get muscle tightness at back of head ( Not exactly back 2 inch above towards scalp). I cant say its headache but its totally different feeling and if I suddenly move my head right and left I feel something at back of my head moving parallely. 2. Over the period of time I got to know its triggers (a) via post lunch especially if I am not doing any work and resting myself in cushions. If I get into some physical work bit hard, then I dont experience it. (b) impropper posture by lying down resting my head towards wall ( I hv stopped completely) (c) Sudden unwanted stress. This case it goes away by trying to relax the muscle by pulling the muscles of ears ( without applying hands) though takes time So most of the time the nerve at back head become overreactive ( I dont know if its the perfect word). My life is hell. I tried explaining to many doctors but did not get any satisfactory answer. Over search, I found Migrane may be triggering this unwanted feeling at backhead. But I did not find any link between gastracid and this. I came accross Occipital nuralagia and think that its corelated. I cant call it a headace. During climbing stairs I used to feel a bulb is getting switch off and on when I get this problem.

Where are you located? You look absolutely amazing, I would fly to you tomorrow or whenever I could get an appt. I've had occipital nerve block injections about 10 times. My neurologist that was temporary put the shots in the sweet spots where it completely took my migrane pain away for 5-6wks. Haven't had much success with the other injections doing them in other locations. My first round of botox was disappointing 😥 next round this week, hoping for more relief this round. So much of my daily pain is right where you did the injections on this man. You seem so knowledgeable, precise and confident. Only hope to find a Dr as good as you one day!

Sir my mother has nerve pain in left side of forehead intially she got herpezooster after then she has alot of pain in the nerves feeling like water in the nerves

I pray next year 2023 I have my surgery. I have occipital pain affecting also my eye sight.

Hope they ask the patient how's the development after surgery?

Did y’all see how with the last two injections his muscles relaxed, he just fell into a relaxed state apparently from relief of pain.

I could only bare 10 minutes in this video because background music is so annoying and annoying for occipital neuralgia nerve impingement patients

Thanks for information but why with that annoying background music. Us occipital neuralgia nerve impingement sufferers finds it very annoying

This is my dream.

Can someone please say how much this surgery cost? I really need to know

I have a severe form of NDPH. I am considering this because I have exhausted everything else. Has anyone with NDPH specifically benefitted from this surgery? Please let me know my life has become dark and hopeless bc of this pain

If botox dont works, does it mean the sugery dosent work ?

If this will stop the nerve pain I’m having, I might look into it!

So much emphasis on how bad things were. I wonder how much meds she still needs for pain and sleep.

thanks for the video. looking at having this surgery. horrible pain where morphine and oxycontin don’t touch it

I would let the dr. peel all my skin off my head to cut every nerve off so i could piss on them! And send them back to hell where they came from.

Is the any way to do this surgery on yourself? Like if you use mirrors so you can see what you're doing? I'd use local anesthesia to help with pain.

Topamax almost killed me!

Wouldn't prp be better? Migraines seem to originate in the Trigeminal nerve area

What is injected there?

Dang!

How has the surgery held up long term? Getting it done in a couple weeks

Why has this not been recommended to me? My doctor & neirologest are out of ideas

I want to do surgery for complete cure

I have migraine... And really it's too tough to survive wdh this I always have pain in my right side and sensation of nausea.. I can't study properly.

I am a 72 year old man that had a constant headache for about 35 years I totally understand. I have recently had the surgery, but I still have the headaches. I am giving it time to work. I pray that it will get better

I am one among those who gets migraine very frequently 😭

Every neurologist Ive seen say to me it’s non operable... for mine.... why can’t they help me? Even after cortisol injections I still feel pain and pressure.. can you help giving me any information I could give to next neurologist I see... thank you 🙏

why not just deactivate nerves?
