concussion in motor vehicle accident

Hope you feel better soon, take it easy thinking of you wobbly undx

Hi.. i am a 28 yo female. in 1998 i was involved in a motor vehicle accident, resulting in L2-5 fracture.. after spinal fusion i was left with a R foot drop and muscle atrophy. Within the past year or so my left side has been going numb, face right arm and right leg - knee down. My lower back is very tight, as is my neck - most of the time. i compensate with my left leg for my weak righ leg. the numbness is more frequent, especially in the face (lip, ear eye) and pinky finger (R) ..

I was in a car accident 2 days ago. We were rear ended and i was jerked forward. I had my seat belt on and i was close to or possibly hit the dashboard. My problem is that i cannot remember if i did or not. However, my head has been hurting and its very intense especially with sound and light. My nose is also bruised and is numb. I cannot remember the accident that clearly. Is it possible that i may have a concussion?

I was involved in a car accident exactly 3 weeks ago. I was hit HARD from behind, then my car ran into the vehicle in front of me. I was diagnosed with cervical strain, but followed up with my primary MD because my head hurt so bad I could not hold it up. He ordered a CT of my head which came back normal, as well as giving me a prescription of Percocet.

I have been in a Motor vehicle Accident nearly 7years ago. I broke my neck (C7), but was granted another chance by not being paralyzed. Since the accident, I do not feel the difference between either hot or cold on the right side of my body, except right arm. I feel this numbness in my right foot when I sit still for not so long. I cannot wear socks when going to bed, if it's really cold, because then my foot feels if its completely dead.

Usually, such headaches and dizziness may result due to post-concussion syndrome and may last for weeks or months after the injury that caused from the injury of a fall, vehicle accident, or sports injury. In addition, patient may experience either migraine type or tension type headache. For treatment approach, first it is essential to get (MRI) done to detect the brain abnormalities after that injury.

Between 10% and 30% of patients admitted with severe TBI suffer from SDH. They can be caused by motor vehicle accident, falls and assaults. However, they are more common with an older patient resulting from a fall. I think a CT scan of head will definitely help in ruling out such sinister problems which can happen after a traumatic brain injury. Please also get a neurosurgeon opinion for the same. http://www.braininjury.com/epidural-subdural-hematoma.html Pl keep me posted.

I was in a car accident 7 months ago, and it was pretty bad. I ran my car head on into a tree and I got pretty banged up. I went to the doctors the following day, and sure enough, I had a pretty severe concussion. I've had concussions before, the worst caused me to miss 4 months of schooling, that was roughly 5 years ago. Now, I get nauseous at random times. Most of the time when I ride in a vehicle or drive anywhere (not all of the time though), and when I lay down to go to bed.

Do any of you drive a vehicle with hand controls? I was in a car accident about 3 weeks ago. My car stalled as I approached a red light, and I did not have the strength to stop it without the power brakes. I plowed the pickup stopped in front of me.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in 2004. In July 2006 I had a L4-5 global fusion. Still having significant pain with long periods of standing or walking.

Disc Bulge at L1-2 with posterior annular defect, but no spinal stenosis.

If so, in what ways? i.e., with the pupils, when doctor shines light in eyes, motor skills, etc. In what ways are they different? What if you have/are both at the same time? Can they be possibly confused or synonymous?

Hi, Amamtadine has been evaluated in clinical trials for its effect on improving mentation and motor function in patients with traumatic brain injury but there is no confirmatory evidence so far. However it has emerged as a reasonable option for improving neuropsycological function in patients with TBI. So I would say your reaction was not unusual at all.
