Chronic lower throbbing pain in the base of my skull from a really hard neck massage
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occipital neuralgia: Occipital neuralgia involves the greater and lesser occipital nerves located in the back of the scalp and can produce neck pain as well as headache. Moist heat, NSAIDs OTC and passive stretching exercises will resolve the condition in 7-10 days.
