I read on a govt. medical site that neuralgias, like Occipital Neuralgia, can be caused by an infection. (Maybe I developed an infection caused by the Swine Flu virus?) Another way it can be caused is from irritation caused by repeated contraction of the neck muscles (which can pinch the nerves), like keeping your head in a downward and forward position for long periods of time. Which is basically what I do all day long in front of the computer. That latter scenario may make more sense....
In any case, it's still a mystery, and in the meantime I can't wait for the steroid injections I had on Thursday to start kicking in.
