E three times - they said it must be post concussion syndrome and to take the recomended daily allowance of standatd painkillers,I did this and no improvenemt came. I went to numerous eye specialists who say my eye is completely fine and i have no detached retina,etc... I have no intellectual difficulty either.

Hi, I had a concussion about 3 wks ago and after that I have had a tingling sensation in my feet. I want to know if this is expected and what can be done to resolve this. As a a positive side effect, I have also noticed that things seem to be moving in slow motion some times. In other words, I see things much quicker and my reflexes have improved. Is this normal ?

I still cant move my left eyebrow down when i squint but my question is, do you think the tingling is because my nerves or feeling is coming back there?

I am so sorry to hear about your accident and I do hope you recover from your symptoms soon. The symptoms associated with a post-concussion syndrome (PCS) can last from a few weeks to several months, and is dependent on the severity of the concussion. Have your symptoms worsened during the last 8 days? The symptoms you mentioned do indeed fall under the known symptoms associated with PCS.

About 3 months ago I started to have tingling in both of my feet (bottom sides only). This does not happen when I am laying flat, only when I am sitting, and I have not noticed it when I stand. I also have a strange sensation in the arches of both feet. I have no muscle weakness and I actually feel better when I workout at the gym. I am wondering about the following: Could this be MS? How common is it for MS to manifest itself without weakness, or vision problems as a symptom?

I've also had trouble concentrating, have been light headed, occassional dizziness and headaches. The latter area all common post concussion symptoms so no surprises there, but the random tingling is a bit perplexing. Any thoughts? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

After weeks of trial and error we settled on Maxalt, Topomax (now at 75mg BID), and Verapamil. I am now diagnosed with Post-concussion syndrom and currently in PT for Cervogenic Dizziness and while there has been no improvement in the HA, the dizziness is almost gone. :). HERE IS THE WEIRD PART--During this journey I was sent for IQ testing by my disability insurance.

I have a 9 y/o daughter that has had symptoms of headache, dizziness, nausea, aching for a couple years. PCP did work ups & never really found anything. Well 4 weeks ago she had a bad fall down hardwood stairs & hit the back of her head off 7 steps. Diagnosed w/ a concussion. 4 weeks later all previous symptoms worse, headache nonstop of varying degrees, dizziness, nausea & tingling in legs which is new. MRI turned up Chiari Malformation Type 1 of 7 mm.

I've experiencing extremely light tingling and pressure mainly in my legs and sometimes (rarely) in my hands or arms during the last four months. For the last years I've been experiencing high levels of stress/anxiety on a daily basis and I've been diagnosed with severe depression recently by my doctor. I've been prescribed with prozac and victan. Appart from this tingling I do NOT have any further symptoms. I don't feel tired, I don't have double vision nor any coordination issues.

I've suffered with facial tingling along with redness (especially around the mouth) for a few years now. My symptoms involve very sensitive skin on my face which means harsh medicines, drinking anything, laughing and such causes tightness along with slight redness and a constant tingling sensation. I've experimented focusing on every skin problem possible (acne, rosacea, dermatitis, etc) but my skin problem doesn't really pertain to any of them.

I've been finding when I drink too much caffeine - a cup of coffee in the morning and a soda at lunch - I often find my tongue starts to tingle or my lips go numb and I become light headed. Just recently, it's been my right arm or hand that starts to tingle or will go from normal to immediately falling asleep. I often times have a pain in my right arm, even when I'm not drinking caffeine. But I've noticed these effects almost immediate with a little too much caffine in my system.

I sleep on my left side. Now, not only am I getting pain in the left arm, I am now starting to get a tingling sensation in my left arm down to my fingertips, which happens mostly during the day. There are some changes, I have been excercising and walking within the last month. We have just recently added weights, but the pain and tingling sensation started before the weights. My diet has changed to grains, vegetables, fruits, lots of water and very litte meat.

I suffered a concussion exactly one week ago, long story short, I was kneeling in front of the fridge and my wife closed the freezer door above my head. I stood up full force and the back of my head met the bottom of the door. I did not lose consciousness, but it did knock me back to my knees. I went to the ER and the Dr ordered a head CT.

The tingling is not typical. If you feel any nausea, or if you blacked out when you hit your head you need to go to an emergency room immediately. These days, in the United States at least, an inexpensive MRI is usually available during the day (a CAT at night) in most emergency rooms. If there is a concussion and swelling drugs must be given to prevent further swelling, which will possibly cause permanent brain damage.

For about 3 months now, I have been experiencing dizziness as well as heaviness, tingling sensation, and an overall weak feeling in my left arm mostly, but it also has traveled down the entire left side of my body. I am a 24 yr old healthy female. I went to the ER when it first started and was really bad. My entire left side was tingling, including the left side of my face, my left arm, leg and foot. It only happens on the LEFT side.

My symptoms also include headaches and pressure on top of my head and in my jaw, lack of concentration and ringing in the ears. However, my husband has primarily the tingling in the hands and feet. We are detoxing and the symptoms are improving. At first we thought it was just mercury poisoning from eating fish. However, consider that metals like lead, aluminum etc. could be a part as well.

I was told that the difficulty concentrating, dizziness, and headache could possibly for quite some time (then being referred to as post concussion syndrome). I wonder though if the tingling and sort of throbbing sensation may be symptomatic of something else, for instance minor/major muscular or nerve damage in the scalp as opposed to concussion which would be intercranial. Also, is there a possible correlation to teeth grinding or TMJ?

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.

Hi All 8 weeks ago I had an accident, and fell down my stairs at home backwards - had a nasty bump to the head - suffered with headaches for days and still suffering dizzy spells even now and tingling in my left hand - had a head scan - normal , but complete loss of smell and taste which bothers me the most - only able to sense sweet/sour/bitter on my tongue, but no flavours.

The seem to think the headaches and fatigue are probably post concussion syndrome. I'm not totally convienced that I did not have a TIA. I was told I probably slept on my arm wrong and it was asleep, but there was no tingling like normally when your arm goes to sleep. My question is can post concussion syndrome start two weeks after the injury? I see a neuro in 1 1/2 weeks but I'm really scared something might happen before then.

I have been working alot more at my desk lately and for the last few weeks now I have started to have a very acute tingling sensation rush from the middle of my torso down my hip area and through my legs, lastly making my tongue and fingers go slightly numb, when I look downward or lower my chin while I am sitting. It only lasts as long as I am looking down, but the tongue and fingers stay slightly numb for a little while after this happens.

ago, I fell(cartwheeled down flight of stairs) resulting in brief loss of consciousness, concussion, broken finger and rib. I was taken to ER, Xrays, CT scan of spine which showed bone spurs in neck encroaching on neural foramina bilaterally(C5-C6;C6-C7). After 2 mons. PC sent me to neurologist to make sure I was experiencing PCS. Both told me it could take up to 6 mons. for all symptoms to go away.

I was in an auto accident earlier this year and had a concussion and whiplash. I was breastfeeding at the time, so I could not take the muscle relaxers that were prescribed. On a few occassions I had to take a break from breastfeeding in order to take the pills, because the pain was just too bad. I also underwent PT for about 6-8 weeks (e-stim, massage, excercises, ultrasound). It has been about four months since the accident occured and the pain has subsided for the most part.
