Epilepsy, Meds and Fractures?

Ok personal info first, 26 male, have grand mal seizures ive had them for over 2 years i believe.

1. medication im on is Oxcarbazepine 300mg
2. when im tired i get these spasms that really screw up my life.
3. i have a frectured shoulder which i got from a car accident before i started having seziures.

Question.... is there anyway my shoulder is the cause for my seziures??  and if i get it fixed is there a chance i wont have seziures anymore?

I know this sounds dumb but im willing to try just about anything. honestly... i will try anything.

They have done every brain scan they can do. Ive even had these wires glued to my head and had to go 24 hours with them on. They have no idea why i have them.

i was wondering if mabye a pinched nerve in my shoulder could cause some sort of problem? but it was a long shot i know.

It's more likely that you sustained a head injury in your accident causing your seizures.
Have you had an EEG or MRI? Those tests would determine if you have long term brain injuries or unexplained seizures. If they're unexplained it's possible that they might go away.
