Occipital Nerve Block Injection

Has anyone had this done before?

If so…could you elaborate and/or PM me?

Todd,
I have had a series of these done before. 2 x a week for about 4 weeks. It was supposed to help with my dizziness and headaches. The doctor places an x on either ur neck or head and injects you with a steriod. Sometimes it would be 3 injections at a time. Everytime I left the office I always felt dizzier and I never knew why.
Now, I do. Because I am med sensitive. Whatever they injected me with made my mav worse. After, four weeks, there was no improvement. I stopped going. I felt better bc I was getting injected with a steriod that may have been triggering my mav to become worse.
Thats just my story. It may work for you. I wanted to share with you. It was rather expensive. Maybe you could try it once…see how, you feel.

Best of luck!
Lisa

No long term side effects for me that I noticed.
