I received a concussion on April 7th, and at first I seemed okay, my main complaint was the broken ribs and the pain that came along with them. After about a week and a half, the left side of my face became numb. The left side of my body was the impact side. My doctor ordered a CT Scan which showed a berry aneurysm, in light of this, my concussion became secondary. I'm concerned because my balance is getting worse when I first get up from a sitting or laying position, I stumble a bit before I seem to get my feet working. I've noticed that this is occurring more often. Is this just a probable side effect from the concussion? I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon this week, and I'm not really sure if it's just for the aneurysm only or if he will be interested in the concussion effects also. I actually feel that the aneurysm is now secondary in the respect that, we know it's there, and will take care of it. The numbness and balance issues truly worry me especially with my future employment. The job I have requires lifting heavy objects, and I'm not sure I want to do that while I'm stumbling around trying to get my balance. How long can something like this last? Thanks, Donna
