Brief Answer:
Occipital Neuralgia

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Your condition seems to be occipital neuralgia. This does present with all the imaging tests and blood tests within normal range yet very troublesome.

The medications advised now are very much suitable to the condition.
Only because they are a bit strong and cannot be tolerated in the beginning. Need not worry, after a two weeks of the consumption your wife will get adapted to the medication.

I believe this is the best combination for her problem.

Ask her to consume ample amount of water to detoxify the metabolites.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Regards,
