Yes I know that nobody can make a diagnosis in these forums, I already have one. I was looking for someone who has had this pain, or the surgery, to come forward and talk to me about their experience.
Thankx

Sorry to hear that you are in pain.
Yes, it is true that nerves associated with C2/C3 innervate the surface of the ears and provide some innervation of soft tissue in the occipital area, however C2/C3 nerve impingement is by no means the only cause for occipital pain, and this forum is certainly no place for a medical diagnosis.
No one can responsibly offer medical advice or an accurate diagnosis without a physical examination. Please see your pain doctor for a consult and workup of your pain problem.
Best wishes.
