Hello, i had an occipital nerve block a week ago. the past two days i have had migraines and it is very painful in the region where shot was?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Headaches: I would consult with the individual who performed the nerve block. You may have some residual swelling and inflammation associated with the injection causing residual pain.
