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 m tn After a month and a half of these adjustments 3 times a week, we gave up on it and I stuck to medication and physical therapy. I would like to be able to return to school soon being that this time in my life is critical to my future and I'm wondering if my condition is reversable. If the atlas is what was knocked out of place during my concussion, is there a way to make it permanently stay in place?
Avatar m tn Hi. Sorry you are banging your head! Our head can take a lot of blows. Keep that in mind. We have a skull for protection. ER's are good for acute situations. I'm glad you got checked out. They did not see any acute signs of a brain injury. They are trained to do tests to determine this. I have kids in sports. Since you've had a concussion before, you know that a doctor does those to determine brain injury.
Avatar n tn Some people may manifest the symptoms longer and the condition is termed as post concussion syndrome. Repeated concussions are known to double the risk. So, please have him evaluated to rule out this condition. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn m a huge WWE fan. Bryan Danielson (ring name, Daniel Bryan) retired this week at a very young age due to concussion problems. He revealed on ESPN that the swelling on his brain has caused him to get seizures. I would love to have a big discussion about this.
Avatar f tn My question would be for a 17 year old boy what would most doctors recommend and if we did choose the bioprosthetic valve would he be able to return to sports, especially football? Also where can I find out more detailed information about both procedures so we can educate ourselves before we meet with the surgeon.
Avatar m tn That is an impossible question to answer. With a concussion there is swelling, which impinges upon blood vessels, which may cause death of brain tissue. For decades they believed brain tissue would not regenerate, however recent research suggests that brain tisue may regenerate. The likelyhood is you will recover, but this is not a certainty. Make sure to avoid future concussions. You need to have this well-documented.
Avatar m tn A concussion is a specific syndrome secondary to a blow to the head. Impacts to the skull that produce a concussion can certainly cause death, if not quickly addressed in an appropriate medical facility. The cause of death is usually due to lack of oxygen to the brain secondary to swelling and the oclusion of the supply of blood and nutrients. To cut to the chase, just because you or your child has a concussion does not mean you are going to die.
Avatar n tn I am getting headaches every day at the same time. Could this be from the concussion? Should I have it checked out before I go back to school next week?
Avatar m tn I have not had any of the symptoms the ER said I should return for but where the lump was there is now a soft spot. Should I return?
Avatar f tn re supposed to take it easy after a concussion and orgasm raises your BP and all. Most of my symptoms of the concussion have gone away, aside from double vision. Thoughts?
Avatar n tn If I were you I'd have to say goodbye to sports, although I know how hard it may be. You have to start thinking about your life after high school. One day you will hopefully have a family and you will want to grow old with them and remember who they are. I've personally received multiple concussions. 4 from football (not including times when I got dazed and kept playing), and another two serious ones outside of football. As of now I'm 20 years old.
Avatar m tn Your doctor is right about You being past the first 24 hours which is the most dangerous for someone with concussion. I would trust his advice as he did check everything he should have however if You're concerned You can always return to him or even to another doctor for a second opinion. It seems as though You're worried at the moment that You're suffering concussion and fearing the worst, the mind can work in marvellous ways.
163305 tn?1333668571 com/categories/hbot-concussion The concept is the use of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to treat concussion/sports injuries, which would be the same concept of using an oxygen chamber to treat fibromyalgia pain. There's a little boy who was injured in Hurricane Sandy in 2012, when a tree fell through the roof of their home, onto his head. His parents were experimenting with an oxygen chamber.
Avatar f tn Hello~To be on the side of safety, i would take her to her pediatrician and let him know what is going on, he/she might want to take some x-rays to make sure all is well. Another suggestion, take her to a chiropractor that specializes in children, most do anyway. She may have dislocated some vertebrae and that is the cause of the noise, etc. He/she will also take x-rays, study them and then go over the results.
Avatar f tn That's a really good question for your orthopedist and physical therapist. I would definitely keep doing your routine used during recovery with hopes you eventually get to the normal point (grade A). Do you feel what the test is showing? Anything like limited range of motion? You just want to be very careful you don't get into a position of reinjuring it if so. I'd wear a knee brace at the very least for now. Here's info on the Lachman test https://www.healthline.
Avatar n tn sorry to hear about the remaining issues.....what was he doing that he was injured?...sports...?I know u said he had CT scans...may I ask y not an MRI?.....and do u have a copy of the report? Since it was 2 wks ago the last time...it is possible that he has swelling and it is not completely healed? Hopefully he did not suffer a condition from the repeat injuries.Head injuries r nothing to let slide...please call his dr and ask him the same questions ur asked here. I pray he recovers soon!
Avatar m tn A concussion is a brain injury caused by sudden blow to the head or body including high-speed sports, where brain inside the skull shakes, preventing brain to function normally. Symptoms can range from passing out, confusion, coordination and balance problems; nausea etc. post concussion syndrome develops over time and is worse than before injury. Symptoms are headaches or blurry vision.
Avatar m tn I understand she loves to do those things, but I look to the Pro football players with concussion syndrome and think is it worth it? They didn't even have chiari....this is JMHO from what I have learned, and experiecned having chiari. I would take copies of her MRI and the reports and get a 2nd opinion from a true chiari specialist.
Avatar n tn Welcome...Bless his/her heart! What happened? This is normally a Neurological Issue due to injury to the brain & nervous system from head trauma....In your case (One week later) sounds as if the swelling has not been brought under control...The Vet that diagnosed the "Concussion" should have given an Anti-inflammatory (Usually steroids) to help with the inflammation. You need to return to your Vet today & have your puppy checked again.....
Avatar f tn I am curious to learn more about post concussion syndrome. In the past 4-5 years I have had 4 or 5 "mild" concussions and am starting to get worried. I received all of these from sports and have since pulled myself from such dangerous situations but I fear I am still dealing with the after effects of my reckless youth. After my last concussion I had extremely bad vertigo, memory loss, and headaches.
Avatar n tn Because I read the sports pages a lot, it sounds like concussion syndrome to me. Football players get it a lot. So while it could be anxiety attacks, you did suffer a concussion. Are you seeing a specialist for that?
