What Causes Pulsating Pain In Neck And Pains On Left Side Of Head?

I have a bad pulsating pain in the front left side of my neck, sometimes pain behind my eyes, and occasionally i get sharp shooting pains on the top left side of my head. My GP could not feel a pulse in my left temple, so did some bloods which came back clear. I have peripheral neuropathy, and my C3-4-5 are all fusing together. Any idea s?.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

A possibility may be Occipital Neuralgia from compression or neuropathy of occipital nerves.

I suggest you to consult a Neurologist and discuss this option too.
