My father is having injections of his occipital nerve
tomorrow. I am not at all familiar with this procedure
and would like as much detailed, accurate information
as possible. I would like to know the precise area of
injection, and please feel free to go in to great detail
Back in 1991 my father fell 30 feet from a ladder and
after hitting a rod iron fence, landed on his head on
blacktop. This is while he was at work and his co-workers
picked him up and drove his to the hospital, instead of
calling paramedics. He suffered no broken bones, but he
did have a large gash on his head. Since then he has
suffered from debilitating headaches which start in the
top of his neck and extend into his head. My dad is not
one to complain of pain, but is obviously in horrible
pain from the headaches. Does this sound like a promising
treatment for him? Either way I'd like information. I'm
not sure what time he's getting this done tomorrow, but
I will be leaving the house around 9:30 tomorrow and will
be checking my e-mail then for some response, to hopefully
help put my mind somewhat at ease tomorrow. If not before
then, please feel free to e-mail me later. My e-mail
address is loril@hhs.net Thank you,
Lori
