Last Week I started getting a cold ache behind my ear on the left side down to my neck on that side. It has been off and on since then. At first I assumed it was from sinus pressure which I struggle with often. But in researching it I found the term occipital neuralgia and the symptom and location fit exactly.
I saw that it can be from a pinched nerve but doesn’t seem like the pain itself is very common. I also saw that it could be from a head or neck tumor that’s pushing on the nerve. Well that was it - I’m so worried that I have an undiagnosed brain tumor.
Curious if anyone has had this pain and found it to be unrelated to anything sinister. I can’t get the C word out of my head. And all the massaging and poking has made the entire area sore but I still feel the deep nerve pain there. . :/ tia!
