Has anyone had a Concussion with Chairi?

I fell a couple of weeks ago and fell coming down the stairs in my socks on hard wood surface, I fell and hit the back of my head my Doctor thinks I have a mild concussion but I'm thinking maybe I should call my surgeon. It's a year after my surgery but the back of my head is killing me after I've fallen down some stairs and banged it pretty hard.

  Call your  NS and tell them what happened....you should have a MRI to make sure nothing is wrong.

  Hi Luna and welcome to the Chiari forum.

Since you had surgery a MRI should have been done after a blow to the head....

Is it your surgeon or PCP that thinks it is a mild concussion?
