Symptoms of head bob, eye & teeth clench, tingling???

My daughter in law was in a snowmobile crash and got a concussion. After suffering thru that trauma, she was in a store and bent over to look at something and when she stood up she jammed her head into her neck, hitting a shelf. Since that occurred, she has had tingling in her face and arms, clenching her teeth involuntarily, head bobbing involuntarily and eye closing involuntarily. She has foot drop and pain in her leg. She has had multiple MRI's, blood tests and Dr. visits, to which they all say they can't find anything. She has been tired and sick feeling and trying to live as though nothing is wrong, but I am worried that this could become a way of life for her, when it isn't necessary with the right diagnosis. She's been tested for Lyme's disease (her job is with the govt going to farms to manage their manure waste) and multiple other things, such as MS, thyroid disorder, etc. Does anyone know of anything that sounds like this??? We are at wit's end, trying to diagnose this by ourselves.

oooh ok...I heard of Geisinger......I am on the east side of PA...1.5 hrs outside Philly.

I think it is awful that we have to "shop" for our drs.....we can't trust that because  they r drs that they will offer the best treatment options.

Please let me know where u decide to go and how it all turns out!!

Godspeed

Danville is in the middle of the state and Sayre is in the north. Geisinger is the hospital in Danville (my sister received brain surgery there when she was in an auto accident in college) and Robert Packer is in Sayre. I wouldn't have my dog treated in RP, but have heard good things about Geisinger in Danville. But they still haven't gotten a finger on anything for my daughter in law.

She's been to neurologists in Danville and Sayre, PA. I want her to go to the U of P in Philly to get a third opinion, but she's getting frustrated and thinking that no one can help her and that she would be wasting her time. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar, so we could have her Dr's look into it. Thanks
