Thank you for your question. Generally, such symptoms may result due to post-concussion syndrome and may last for weeks or months after the injury that caused from the injury of a fall, vehicle accident, or sports injury. For treatment approach, first it is essential to get (MRI) done to detect the brain or spinal abnormalities after that injury. Treatment commonly may be suggested for symptoms such as pain-killers, some antidepressants, physical therapy and regular exercises. If you suffer continuous symptoms, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who will evaluate the possibilities here and can provide you an appropriate treatment. Further referral to a psychologist may be also helpful in order to treat usual anxiety or depression after such injuries (sometimes one may have) that may be one of the aggravating factors for persistent symptoms. Hope this information proves helpful to you. Take Care & Regards!!!
Hi LO
I'm sorry to hear that this accident is still affecting you.
Did you have any follow ups after that first cat scan? With what they class as low grade 'traumatic brain injuries', the damage often doesn't show up till days/weeks later.
One complication of even some mild concussions can be brain swelling, or cerebral edema (rather like an injured leg can swell up if accidentally kicked for example) which shows up many hours or days after the injury. If untreated, it can lead to some longstanding problems. Healing takes as long as it takes...every body and every injury is different of course.
Have you been back to your doc and asked for MRI scans as well as a thorough physical examination? That's your best route now I would think.
best wishes
