I am experiencing the agonies again
Does anyone with occipital neuralgia have any experience using TENS machines on it? I've read that it works for some people, and one of the surgical options is permanent tens in the skull.
Does anyone have any recs for the type, placement of the stickers, or whether the butterfly shaped ones specifically for the skull work better?
Feel free to share this to anyone you know who may also have advice.
I'm currently cooking my brain with a heat pack, but it never stays hot enough to help, and it's starting to do the thing where heat is sending knife pain through the nerve across the scalp. Preferable to feeling like someone's caved my face in with a hammer, but still deeply unpleasant.
