A member asked:
What would cause a headache above the right eye, down the back of the neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neuralgia: Neuralgia or pinching of the occipital nerve at the base of the neck can cause pain from the back of the neck radiating up the back of the scalp and traveling over the eye. This also can be an irritability/inflammation of this nerve which is outside the skull and not a brain issue and usually resolves on its own. A neurologist is best to consult if symptoms persist.
