I ran into someone helmet to helmet, and had total body numbness for about 3-5 seconds until I started to feel normal again. The only symptoms I have now are fatigue and a minor headache.

Athough aneurysms can be caused by trauma, I would think thank you have probably had yours prior to the concussion. The numbness and balance issues are likely due to the concussion. The MRI might also help identify if the trauma has completely resolved. It might identify if there is some inner ear damage. I might some time for all the symptoms of your concussion to resolved. The time is individual and alot depends on how bad the concussion.

I have swelling and tenderness around my left eye and temple but my concern is I am having numbness in my right hand. Could this be related to a mild concussion I may have had?

things that started to happen were after another concussion. That was where the cough headaches began and numbness, and all the other Chiari goodies. Although we are born with it, it appers that just the right combination of hits to the head can activate things. I know exactly when I hit my head and things started happening, it took about five years after though to be to be at the point where I really knew something was wrong.

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 also had some numbness of Lt leg and weakness of Rt. hand for few hours that spontaneously resolved. After 28 hours, I was completely symptom free. Due to insurance issues and also since at that time I did not feel that my injury was serious, I did not get a formal evaluation or a CT scan done. However today ( after 48hours of injury) when I was driving my car, I had stopped at a stop light. When I accelerated my car(from stop), due to inertia my head went rapidly forward and back.

I was knocked out for a short time, maybe a minute. I went to the hospital afterward and got looked at to see if I might have a concussion or a broken jaw. The doctor spent maybe five minutes with me, max. Said I was fine and to go put some ice on it. I have the usual stuff you would expect from getting punched in the face, such as a sore jaw, fat lip and black eye. However I have some numbness in my teeth, the facial tissue outside my teeth(upper lip and surrounding area) and part of my cheek.

I had 3 staples put in my scalp, have a concussion, and weird enough half my left thigh is numb (from my knee to my hip) and my right leg is numb from the side of my knee to mid thigh.I still have pain in my head.I am concerned about my head, I keep getting dizzy when I turn my head.

My injury consisted of a head/brain injury that resulted in Post Concussive Syndrome. I am still suffering from tingling and numbness to the left side of my body. The left side of my face is numb, my left arm feels very heavy but the main probem is my left leg and foot - it tingles and feels very cold all the time. My balance is off and I stumble constantly when walking.

I also have headaches to where when I get one I have it for weeks at a time, and vicodin only numbs the pain for a short period of time. I really do not want to come dependent on the pain pills for my pain, but I don't know what else to take for it. I've already missed a week of work because the vicodin makes me sleepy, and I can't take while I'm at work anymore. Aspirin does not help either.

My 16 yr old daughter received a concussion when a piece of exercise equip fell on her head in aug/2011. Severe headache, backache, grey blotches in her eyes were all present. ER visit with xray of her neck showed nothing wrong but concussion. Then on Sep 13 she hit her head againist a bathroom sink at school when she almost fell from passin out. This is when part of her memory went.

I was diagnosed with post concussion syndrome over a year ago. The medicines I'm taking are not helping. I take topamax, nortriptyline, and tordol. I was wondering if there is another condition that had similar symptoms to post concussion syndrome. I have all of the most common symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, migrains, mood swings, difficulty concentrating and remembering, but I also loss blocks of time, I pass out, and often experience some numbness on one side of my body.

If there are no neurologic deficits like weakness , numbness, any learning disabilities and memory problems, I believe your daughter may start playing again.The headaches were gone except for the eye twitching. But this twitching does not seem to affect her daily activities. Is she still on medications? Discuss this with your daughter's physician.He is the best person to guide you with this.

I got a concussion about a month ago during a dance performance and, while I no longer feel like there is a veil over my world, I am now experiencing headaches that feel like sinus headaches running from the base of my skull up over the right side of my head and down into my right eye/nose. Just 30 minutes ago, I felt the back of my neck burning, smelled the aroma of rubbing alcohol intensely in my nostrils and felt like I might throw up or pass out.

We did some test, such as pinching her front paws, she pulled them away ( indicating to me she felt pain and they were not numb) we decided to see if she would climb out of water is she was put in it, we filled the sink and set her in just up to her belly, she climbed out with front and back paws.

On Jan 3rd, I suffered a severe concussion when I fell and hit the back of my head. I developed dizziness, ringing in the ears, bad headache, unsteadiness and nausea. Its now going on 2 months and I'm not getting any better. My Neurologist said that I have Post Concussion Syndrome. What's the difference between concussion and PCS and when will it go away? I can't even drive, or work and to even go to a store, I'm afraid to go without someone with me.

Went to the doctors and was diagnosed with concussion. Rest and pain killers, I thought ok  Then I started getting numb tingling in my finger tips on my left hand, mainly my little finger, also now have a strange feeling in my left ear (with some pain) feels like I’m going deaf but can still hear?

I have extreme fatigue, headaches, numb spots that come and go in my face and head, nausea, and my eye hurts (I developed a black eye about two days later). These symptoms seem to be listed as normal, but I am very worried both about the symptoms and the resulting depression I feel. I can't get into a neurologist for 2 wks. Should I go back to the emergency room?

I am also implanted with a spinal cord stimulator . Now the Doctor says I have a concussion . My neurological symptoms are getting much worse. Ringing ears, sensitive to light, nauseous , thinking causes worse headaches, hot and cold sweats, fingers go numb. My question is how long will I need to stay down and quiet? They say to have total rest both mentally and physically. I shouldn't be writing now but need some input. The answer I am getting is until the symptoms go away and stay away!

I have numbness in little finger and ring finger of my left hand along with weakness 2 weeks post concussion. Should I seek immediate medical attention or might this simply be a pinched nerve?

I have developed long lasting headaches which tend to be pulsating with a sharp pain and a strange numbness all over the brain (and sometimes this numbness travels throughout the body) that is difficult to explain - I would compare the sensation to that of ones foot going to sleep after sitting in an awkward position.

I have been sleeping well besides being anxious about the possibility of a concussion. This morning I feel as if my upper cheek/right below my eye area is falling asleep/going numb. There's sensation to it when I touch it, but it feels a little tingly. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

its hard to read things on the computer and stuff and my body feels a little numb in certain spots. some people said it is because i have a low tolerence for THC and my body is getting used to dealing with it. i am just really nervous because i dont want to have perminent brain damage if this is a concussion, and i have never had a concussion in my life.

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.

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.
