ON: Well defining the precise location and quality of pain is most important to answer this question. Noting your occipital nerve, most people have two (right and left) greater, two lesser, -'d sometimes two others. It may be muscle that is inflamed or tender but still possible the nerves are the issue.

I have occipital neuralgia & have recently begun Eliquis. After recent intercourse (laying on my side/neck) I've developed a bad neck ache/head ache. My hematologist says surely not a bleed/rupture caused by the Eliquis during intercourse. Thoughts??
