concussion
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 !
I am not sure anyone will be able to answer accurately since a concussion is a jarring to the brain and what happens physically in/on the brain no one knows.
I would have to agree with that theory. A seizure happens because your brain "miss fires" for some reason or another.
I had a mild Traumatic Brain Injury and severe concussion 1 year 8 months ago. Post Concussion Syndrome followed after that and that is what probably your cousin's doctor call it.
I have several symptoms and the worst is dizziness, heavy headed and fatigue. Been to many therapies, meds and no help. Right now I am trying some PT for my neck which seems to be causing my dizziness. I don't know and no one knows including specialists. It is tough to diagnose dizziness.
t hurt, it seems to me, to find a neurologist who can test for post-concussion problems. Unfortunately, this isn't easy to diagnose or find and often takes years before it might show up on a diagnostic picture, but with all this going on, might be worth a try. Another problem, though, is, don't know if there's any cure for it. If he had childhood seizure disorder, how then can you be sure the wellbutrin caused the seizure?
Hello, Im almost 100% certain that it wouldnt be a concussion. Even though the back of the head is the worst spot you can get hit or fall on, you would still be having tremedous pain along with other symptoms like dizzyness, blurryness, tiredness. Im sure you just had a bit of a headache for awhile.
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.
Well, unfortunately I didn't get to read this post until today, but in this type of situation, you call an ambulance immediately. Also, unless he is in absolute physical danger (such as being hit by a car in the street) never move an accident victim. You can actually do more damage if there is a head or neck injury. After calling an ambulance, you then call the childs parents and let them know exactly what happened.
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced severe light sensitivity this long after a concussion and what their diagnosis was or what they did to stop it.
The tissue may have been damaged and is kind of like a permanent scar that will not progress any further. That being said though, what caused them to do an MRI to see this? Are you suffering from migraines or are there any symptoms that caused you to go to a doctor to have this checked? I'm an individual that has been suffering from severe head trauma for 33yrs now and I have seen progressive improvement.
What if you had a concussion?What if eating doesn't help?Is it different if you can't barley speak and move?
the first day after a few hours of sleep i woke up with a plugged left ear feeling and a slight numbness on the left side of my face and the inability to focus i was dazed, on day 2 the inability to focus remains and i noticed that while walking and looking around my eyes un-focus and i get dizzy and nauseous for a few seconds and then i go back to normal all while still being kind of dazed and unfocused. is that normal? are those symptoms of concussion? will they go away alone with time?
I can still barely focus on anything school-related and I have a complete lack of motivation to do anything related to my schoolwork. I don't understand how a mild concussion can take so long to heal. I know people on the football team who have gotten knocked out and have severe concussions that lasted only a month. All I did was fall over and I didn't even hit my head, so why is mine so much worse now?
My doctor said the same thing, it was do to the concussion and that I would be fine. I read in one of your post that your daughter was said to have Post-Concussion Syndrome after a head injury. I do not know how long ago that was but if you looked up what the doctor was talking about like I do when my kids health is involved. You might of seen that the syndrome can sometimes last over a year in some cases.
As for epilepsy, I have it.
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.
t need to worry about that. What you do need to do is taking all possible precautions against having another concussion, ever, because it sounds like the one you just had was pretty severe. If you are playing contact sports, or if you have dangerous hobbies, it might be time to reconsider that. But you can have all the sex you want. Even if an orgasm immediately after a concussion is inadvisable (and it probably is), two weeks is long enough to wait. You can stop feeling guilty.
It sounds like you might. Get thee to a doc and make sure you don't end up w any worse effects,.
m not really sure what to do because I have a final on thursday and I have to work today, tomorrow, and wednesday and I'm having a hard time concentrating on stuff... Should I just call the doctor and ask what they think? I just don't want to make a big deal over something that they will just tell me to rest for...
I was wondering if what I have is post concussion syndrome. On march 25 I had a dirtbike race and I crashed 4 times. Hit my head every time but didn't lose conciosness. I felt fine for the next 12 days then in class on april 7th I became very lightheaded and felt like I was gunna pass out. Then I began to have trouble sleeping having very weird thoughts as I layed down and had very weird dreams. And now I feel as if I'm in a dream or spaced out. My anxiety is preety bad now also.
As a result of his change in personality we are now facing a divorce because I am at a loss of what to do after trying to reach out to him multiple times. I have begged him to go back to a doctor to get his concussion checked out but he refuses. Does it sound like he needs to seek medical help for the concussion considering he never received any after-care and continued to drink on the concussion?
