What are the potential causes and appropriate medical management strategies for severe, recurring occipital headaches that occur every other day and are only relieved by analgesics?

Asked by Male, 30 · 8 days ago

Recurring pain at the back of the head can stem from nerve irritation (occipital neuralgia), neck tension, or even 'rebound headaches' from using pain relievers too often. To help you find lasting relief, I highly recommend seeing a doctor or neurologist. They can properly diagnose the cause and discuss safer, long-term management strategies. This might include physical therapy, preventive medications like gabapentin, or targeted nerve blocks, rather than relying solely on daily analgesics.
