Avatar f tn My friend recently got kicked in the head at a soccer game now whenever she moves her head the inside of her head hurts where she got kicked. Is this just a concussion or worse? She doesn't want to go to a doctor until after the season is over.
868804 tn?1239583770 About three years ago I had a concussion in a soccer game. I was knocked unconscious, but got up and managed to play the second half of the game. (big mistake) After the game I felt very sick and when my mom came to pick me up she took me to the hospital right away. The doctors said i had a concussion and gave my mom **** for letting me play the second half. I had a couple more concussions and ended up taking a full year off of all physical activity, as directed by a neurologist.

Avatar n tn I was in a MVA Sept 2007. I have a grade 3 concussion. I have now had PCS for 6 months. Dr's say i'm looking at 1 year before i recover. I have major sleep problems, dizziness,nausea,fatigue,bad balance,headaches,memory problems,no sense of smell, sensitivity to light and noise, very poor concentration. Everything is a huge effort. I try pushing myself but that only has made me so frusturated I turn into a monster!
Avatar m tn Again it is too early to say it is Post Concussion Syndrome. I am suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome and it is worse. Give some time to heal before you start any activities and you will be fine. Doctors didn't tell me to take rest and I returned to activities soon and on disability now. Good luck.
Avatar n tn m 33 and have been dreading losing my hair but the area of hair loss appears to correspond to exactly where the headgear strap goes across the crown of my head. The pattern of hair loss is actually has the shape of the strap where is falls across my head. Has anyone else experienced this or is this a known side effect of the headgear strap?
Avatar f tn He has had severe headaches every day since I haPpened and even nausea a few times since then. Just wondering if he could have a concussion and if we should get it checked out...
Avatar n tn the problem is that i dont remember ever hitting my head serious enough other than heading soccer ball when playing soccer. and the distinquishing thing about my case is that my scalp only hurts when the hair is left to grow. when my head is shaved, the pain goes away within few hours of the hair cut. could you please help explain the cause of this pain?.
Avatar m tn I'm in highschool and during soccer i got a concussion, the doctors said my brain was fine in a cat scan but ever since I have had chronic migraines and headaches for a year now. I saw a neurologist and am on amitriptyline and zolmitriptan. It has reduced my headaches from everyday to four times a week and my migraines from twice a week to once a month. i found that also pushing myself through physical exercise helps too. I still cannot attend school though and am homeschooled as a result.
Avatar f tn i was at the wrong place, wrong time and 10 guys used my head as a soccer ball, i suffered a major concussion about 8 months ago, it took me about 3 to 4 weeks to recover. i had major dizzy spells and light headedness, to vomiting and trauma. after my recover everything went back to normal and i thank the man upstairs for fully recover.
Avatar m tn 12 days ago, he was doing some sprint events, got dizzy and vomited. He gets regular exercise with soccer and basketball so we didn't think much beyond it. We thought he may just be sick but since then, he's had a headache, dizziness, and fatigue for 12 days. A visit to his GP 5 days ago indicated he may have a slight ear infection so he was prescribed a z-pack, but his symptoms have gotten worse.
Avatar n tn So I have to get up and empty water out of the hose and back into the humidifier. My throat gets really dry without the humidifier. Also, my headgear slips off. So I think I need a different one. Any suggestions for either issue? Thanks!
Avatar f tn My daughter is 15 and is a goalie in soccer. She was kick twice in the top back of each side of her head. She suffer a concussion that she had symptoms for about 3-4 weeks. When the other symptoms subsided she was left with ISH headaches. She tried steroids, pain killer and Benadryl for 6 days and it improved the headaches and now 2 week later she is trying that one more time and has added Melatonin at night to.
Avatar n tn After my daughter's 2nd concussion in 7weeks from soccer, she is experiencing weakness and numbness in her right side. 4 days after the accident, she is unable to walk without a limp, claiming she feels pins and needles from her butt cheek to her ankle. Her lower arm and hand seem to go numb on and off ... she describes it as hitting her funny bone. Her foot seems to be fine.
Avatar n tn I played football and got sat on the head and the trainer said that I do not have a concussion. The next day I had a headache but medicine made it go away. I was fine for the next three days but after a soccer game I couldn't sleep was hot/cold (changed throughout the night) sweating and woke up with a huge headache in the middle of the night. For the past two days since that night I get odd headaches and get chills.
Avatar f tn can a headgear help with chronic tmj disorder or a splint if i don't want to do tmj n jaw surgery ??
Avatar f tn Second which seemed less common was the need after her braces are fitted she would get something called a headgear. To be honest, when i saw the picture she was shown, i was needed to her in the chair I felt very uneasy. I kept a brave face asking all the right questions but i could see poor child, her eyes were glassy and wanted to cry. She was shown a metal object called Facebow that would be inserted into her mouth and held in place with bands and tubes on her back upper teeth.
Avatar f tn Exercise is fine as long as you listen to your body and know when it's time to stop. The only concern I would have with soccer is getting hit in the stomach.
Avatar f tn I'm an 18 year old female. 7 months ago I was hit in the forehead area with a soccer ball while attempting a 'header' during training. As I was standing a meter away from the girl who lightly underarmed the ball, the impact wasn't very hard. I did however feel slightly dizzy after the hit, but nothing to knock me on my feet or prevent me from continuing training.
Avatar f tn I would have never thought that angle -- she had a concussion from soccer (going up tp head a ball but went head to head with another player) -- this was a while back tho, 2 years, so more than a year before the illness started. So your injury caused your throwing up and sleep issues? I don't know if these would be related but we are losing our minds trying to figure something out. All dr's will say is since the tests are all negative that leaves her with IBS and stress. Sigh.
Avatar f tn m 17, male and ever since I received a mid ranged level concussion in January 2013 (hit in the temple by football/soccer ball), my fear of hitting my head, receiving concussions and what not has tripled in severity. If a fly flew into my head I begin freaking out and feeling depressed. This happens pretty much up to 3 times a year so here I am again on Google trying to scare myself with answers.
Avatar n tn The other night I was sparring at my boxing club, we all share the same sparring gloves and headgear, my question is during the match I sustained a small cut on the inside of my lip, there is clearly old blood on the outside of the gloves, could I get HIV or Hep C from the old blood coming into contact with my face, eyes cut
Avatar f tn I don't know what's wrong with my right ankle, but after every soccer practice/game/camp my ankle always hurts for a few days. It ranges from a dull ache to a sever pain. It occasionally swells and bruises, but not often. Can someone please tell me what's wrong? I'd appreciate it. Thank you!
