A member asked:
Doc said i have occipital neuralgia, but i have a lot of tingling in frontal area around eye/cheek/forehead on right, lot of scalp pain?

See below: You could conceivably have a facial neuralgia involving trigeminal nerve, but the described area is not governed by the Greater Occipital Nerve of Arnold, and ergo, you are not having occipital neuralgia, as anatomy is very wrong. Would a Concierge visit help?
