Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to occipital neuralgia.
For that you can take tablet acetaminophen.
For further assessment you may require MRI neck and back, nerve conduction studies after consultation.
You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy. Take balanced diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
