Occipital neuralgia: The most common symptom is suboccipital pain radiating to the back of the head and occasionally down the back of the neck. Tenderness over the greater and lesser occipital nerves is common. During severe episodes, the pain may be felt in the retro-orbital and temporal areas. Although the attacks may be bilateral, one side usually predominates. See an orofacial pain or pain management specialist.
