occipital nerve pain in head and neck, left side

How often can occipital nerve pain in neck and head continue from a trauma and which treatments work best?

It depends on what trauma. A blow to the occiput? A whiplash injury? A rugby tackle...?

Has an X-ray of your neck been taken, including an APOM? through the open mouth.

Do movements of your neck hurt?

I need more information before I can answer your question.
