Avatar m tn Light sensitivity often (not always) indicates bleeding in the brain, which is in addition to the concussion. More bad news. You will probably have problems from neck pain about another six months down the line. Basically it's watchful waiting, but you really need an MRI and an MRA. I hope things work out alright.
Avatar n tn It sounds like you might. Get thee to a doc and make sure you don't end up w any worse effects,.
Avatar f tn My 12 year old son, Ben, suffered a concussion in April 2008 when he was hit with a line drive hardball in his left eye while playing baseball. The impact of the ball caused the concussion, and the shape of his pupil is now oval. I took him to a pediatric opthamologist who did a thorough exam. He said there is no lasting damage other than the shape of the pupil, but he needed glasses.
Avatar m tn Hello there worried guy. I have good news for you. Your encounter was safe since you wore a condom. You have literally nothing to worry regarding STIs. Don't feel guilty you are young boy I bet most of boys would be so proud if they were you. You will not die young. Even if a person has HIV or any other stis he or she will live normal life with todays medicine. Now do me a favor stand near a mirror smile to yourself and be happy. You are healthy man!
Avatar m tn With the talk of ID cards on the news, I thought why doesnt each government make their citizens have a 12 month HIV check and issue them with an ID card showing when they last tested and the result? I mean if you go for a job in a foreign country or permanent residency, you often have to take a hiv test first.
Avatar n tn my boyfriend suffered multiple concussions and post concussion before he suffered a couple within the last month. my main concern is his extreme borderline personality symptoms thathe now has. he is still healing from the injuries so understandably his symptoms are more serious but my main concern is if it may not subside overtime but if it will, how long will it take cause it is alot for me to handle. are there any treatments for him to take.
Avatar m tn My question comes on behalf of my younger brother, who recently sustained a head injury that was thought to be a concussion, though no official diagnosis was sought. About a week has passed since the incident and he has started to complain about minor headaches, a symptom that had him sent to his school nurse yesterday, who noticed a disparity in the size of his pupils as the right one was slightly larger than the left.
349463 tn?1333571576 They hydrated me and did some tests, but everything is fine. Since my leg was swollen again they checked for blood clots and the good news is they didn't find any. The diagnosis on that is nerve damage. I don't care I'm just happy it's not a blood clot. So even though I have a slight concussion I'm back at home and feeling fine now. My next ultrasound is at 16 weeks and I hope to find out if it's a boy or a girl!
Avatar f tn Welcome to the forum and thank you for the question. How much of a bang is too much? That is going to be different for everyone. The good news is that your head has a protective bone structure to help protect it. Most head injuries like you describe are not severe and pass fairly quickly. However, it is beneficial for everyone to know what the signs of a concussion are. There are rare cases where a single hit to the head causes cerebral hemorrhaging. That's rare though.
Avatar m tn I was involve in a very bad car accident 02/10 and have no memory of the actual wreck. the hospital deemed I have a severe concussion and then also diagnosed me with Post Concussion Syndrome. I am currently also experiencing back and neck problems as well as getting a collarbone checked out for a possible fracture. My question is does coffee effect concussion and PCS recovery. And how long does recovery generally take.
Avatar n tn I have a serious concussion and I have strained my trapiuses muscle... I also have osgood schlatters in one leg and I can't run with out getting dizzy due to the concussion... I really need to work out ... I have been out for a month ... Please and thank you !
Avatar f tn Loss of consciousness isn’t required for a diagnosis of concussion or post concussion syndrome. Post concussion syndrome occurs within first 7 to 10 days and until 3 months. Symptoms are variable including dizziness, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, loss of concentration and memory, light and noise sensitivity, headache varying from a tension type to cluster headaches. You need to consult a neurologist immediately.
Avatar f tn I am a concussion survivor. Could you get a concussion if your head stops suddenly from a fast movement? Yesterday I was in a hurry and running and pushed the door in front of me. It stopped abruptly which caused my body to stop too. Could this cause a concussion? I'm scared because I am recovering from a concussion already. Does it make me more prone to brain injury? Please, help me!
1810335 tn?1318384373 Hi, I got hit in the face with a soccer ball really hard, and afterwards i couldn't see for a couple of seconds Ive been dizzy almost all day, and I've had a head ache all day as well. Couple of my friends said that i might have had a concussion. Can anyone tell me what happened? I've never had this happen to me before. and if I did have a concussion, what should I do? :( This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/294583'>concussion</a>.
Avatar f tn I got a concussion about 3 months ago at a cheer competition when a girl fell and elbowed me in the face. I didn’t get knocked unconscious but I blacked out for 3 or 4 seconds. Immediately after my performance I went to the athletic trainer who performed an assessment and asked what my symptoms were. Immediately I had a headache, I saw halos around lights, and I felt like I was in a dream state.
Avatar f tn Had a concussion several weeks ago with instant headache & nausea which have gotten worse. Already had 2 CT scans without contrast, showing they were normal. The headaches and nausea are pretty bad daily, have gotten worse since the concussion. I'm now scheduled for an MRI scan, should I do it with or without contrast. Have read so many negative things about getting it with the contrast.
Avatar f tn I had a metal iron shelf fall on my head at work 4 months ago, got a concussion and ended up with post traumatic concussion syndrome. He needs to go to the doctor!!!!! He needs to have a CT or MRI to check for headbleeding then he needs to see a neurologist and let them run test!!!!! It's so important. They told me if I hit my head again I'll have permanent damage.
Avatar f tn Ok so about 7-8 months ago I suffered a concussion and was off work for quite a time I am getting back to it now. My question is can suffering a concussion cause depression and suicidal thoughts as well as self harm? Basically when I was a teenager I was suicidal and a cutter and haven't done anything like that since, until I got the concussion and a few months into the treatment etc I started cutting again and feeling suicidal.
