Hello!

That is not something that I have tried though I find it really interesting. It is also something that I have seen others post on in the past. Hopefully they will post here for you but you may want to enter "occipital injections" at the "Search this Community" bar.

What are your recovery issues that has led to this recommendation? I ask this question because I had a lot of pain issues with my neck muscle since surgery, especially right where the attach to the back of my skull. I would appreciate being able to compare, and who knows maybe we will have info that can help each other?
