Concussion grade 2
Common Questions and Answers about Concussion grade 2
concussion
My 16 year old son was in a car wreck 5 1/2 days ago where he suffered a grade 2 moderate concussion. He was knocked unconscious for a short period of time & received a scalp laceration to the right side of his head . The CT scan discovered what the neurosurgeon described as a small thread size bleed. Later that day another CT scan was done & all signs of bleeding were gone & the blood had been absorbed. His stay in the hospital was for 3 days.
Concussions come in various flavors. One of the difficulties is in judging the severity of a concussion. Several protocols have been devised, and none are completely satisfactory. The professional sports medicine physician's commonly class them as grade 1, grade 2 or grade 3. This means that there can be a broad range of outcomes.
My son did not have a CATscan or MRI. Is 2 months considered excessive? My son did have a mild concussion this past fall as well.
I had a grade 2 concussion from a college soccer accident. it took me up to 6 months to "fully recover" (in the dr's eyes). Ever since the accident i have dealt with concentration problems, headaches, sleep apnea, memory problems. I am 24 yrs old and at the time of my accident 21. I hope you have better luck. i have recently been diagnosed w/ a pituitary tumor. i felt exactly how you did for such a long time.
My daughter has hit her eye and we are worried about a concussion.
The American Academy of Neurology scale is graded on a scale of 1 to 3, where grade 3 has any loss of consciousness. Grade 2 is with any symptoms lasting more than 15 minutes. If there is any loss of consciousness or alteration in mentation or neurological deficit, labeling the injury as traumatic brain injury would also be appropriate.
My daughter is 6 and is special needs, she took a tumble at school resulting in a concussion, she was diagnosis shortly there after with Amblyopia, could her fall cause this condition or is it just one of those things that happens ?
Thank you !
• I have been getting chronic (daily) low grade headaches in the front / top of my head for almost two years. It feels like a tension type headache.
• I get the headaches when I am with friends, at work or in school. Whenever I have to engage in cognitive tasks and absorb a lot of information. It effects my memory and concentration.
• It all started after I got a concussion almost two years ago around the same time the symptoms started.
I am 54 years old, Sand I suffered a concussion a about 2 weeks ago. I tripped over a high curb,with a 2 year old in my arms.I automatically pushed her to the side and I took the bang to the head. Of course my concern was the little girl. I checked her over. And she seemed fine. Except she cried for awhile.
The whole thing is a blur it happens so fast.
Later in the day I was sitting on the couch. And my 10 yr old grandson said look at me Meemaw and look to your right.
I was hit from behind when playing ball hockey and I suffered a concussion after I went head first into the goalie. I had a cat scan done and it was normal immediately after the hit. Its been 11 months and everytime I try a light exercise for example walking around the block for about 20 minutes I get headaches. I used to swim, jog and play sports regularly and now since the accident I have gained a lot weight and don't know what to do to stay active.
i had CT/MRI scan and both are negative. from past 2 weeks I am not getting sleep in the nights . feels me very depress and stress and anxiety. i went to see doctor and gave me sleeping pills and didnot not help. then went to emergency and they gave another sleeping pill which works first day ( might be i did not sleep before 10 days). from next day again same issue not getting sleep even taking sleeping pills. neck pain and ear weird feeling and light headache/drowsiness.
Then yesterday when it was snowy and slippery outside I slipped (my balance has been HORRIBLE since I suffered a concussion in late January) and caught myself on my left elbow and right hand, as I was trying to keep myself from getting wet because I was walking into work. For an idea of how hard I hit it, I had a long sleeve shirt on and a jacket and still managed to get a small cut on my elbow. It was sore yesterday but I didn't think much of it since I fell pretty hard.
He played high school and college football and substained a concussion playing football while in 10th grade. He also broke his ankle playing college footbal which resulted in surgery and a metal plate was fused to his bones to repair his broken ankle. ER doctors think he had a seizure @ the wheel of the car. I am totally uninformed, am not a doctor and don't think he has eplipesy or seizures. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
It sounds like some type of infection. Where do you live? Does he have any cough? Fatigue? It could just be a virus that is hanging on. There are several out there this year that are lasting a few weeks. But these usually have the congestion/cough/ sneezing. The other possibility is TB. It depends on if he has a cough or not. He could get a TB skin test (quantiferon gold is the best) or chest Xray to rule out TB and anything in his chest. Does he have any cuts that may have been infected?
My son was diagnosed with Benign Exterior Hydrocephalus with Chronic Subderral Hematomas at age 1. We believe he bonked his head (he did seem to have a target on it) and with the Hydrocephalus his brain bounced around and tore a vessel. Thankfully the hematoma reabsorbed. We didn't need surgery. He has been "on the high end of normal" for 9 years now for his Hydro so we hadn't needed surgery there either.
Hi my father was diagnosed with Astrocytoma grade 2 3 weeks back. he is 73 yrs old. underwent a craniotomy, they did subtotal resection of the tumor which was around 5x7cm in size in the left temporal region. He toleratedd the procedure well, came out of surgery well. But 4 days s/p surgery when we got him out of bed he kind of collapsed, 1-2 sec episode of ? seizure. Then he became very weak, though he was moving all his limbs well.
