head injury after falling object

[SS2003]

I got a head injury 3 months back after falling object on back(scalp) of my head..
I have done CT Scan & X-Ray...all the reports are normal..and it says I may have Concussion..
I m seeing the Physio Therapist..my symptoms are less but still there like headache,nausea,dizziness,confusion.
so my ques. is how long the symptoms last?

thanks for all the suggestions..
I have got the MRI done..my report is normal..I did Physical Therapy..now doing some exercises at home..sometimes it helps, sometimes not..I take painkillers to reduce the tension and stiffness..but my symptoms are still there..like vertigo with movement,still feeling head pain where I got hit,no endurence left,nausea,neck & back pain gets worst when I exert too much..dr. says it will go away with time..
so my Ques. is - it's been 4 months now, how long these symtoms would last?? will it go away ever??

thanks

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

Usually, such headaches, confusion and dizziness 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. In addition, patient may experience either migraine type or tension type headache. For treatment approach, first it is essential to get (MRI) done to detect the brain 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 headache, 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 headache. Hope this information proves helpful to you. Take Care & Regards!!!
