My girlfriend has occipital neuralgia. Horrific headaches every day that were crippling. She was prescribed both drugs you mentioned and probably 100 others. A month ago, we went to a pain management specialist who actually diagnosed her correctly (every other doctor just figured it was a migraine/headache/muscle issue) and gave her 4 injections in the back of her skull - occipital nerve block. The headaches are gone and she has never felt better.

Have you tried an occipital nerve block? If not, get ahold of someone willing to give it to you. It’s incredibly cheap and almost painless.

Damn. I second the ultrasound comment. Hers were done with ultrasound by an anesthesiologist.

The other thing that helped tremendously was high dose CBD oil
