10 Causes of Occipital Neuralgia
Cause #5: Spinal Cancer
Spinal cancer symptoms often depend on the size, location, type, age, and health condition of the patient. Some common symptoms of spinal cancer include difficulty moving, difficulty with urination, pain, numbness, and weakness. Depending on the progression of the cancer, the symptoms can progress either slowly or quickly.
Metastatic spinal tumors may spread to the spine and usually spread quickly. While rare, occipital neuralgia can be a symptom of metastasis of some cancers.
