| I was in an auto accident back on Sept 29. A kid ran a stop sign at a 4 way stop and hit me in the drivers side front wheel. The impact spun me 180*. I was in an '06 Tacoma and he was in a '12 370Z... I went to my Dr's got checked out with several X-rays and ended up with my symptoms getting worse over the next few days. I went to the emergency room when my face started going numb. Got CT scans. All negative. Was diagnosed with Post Concussive Syndrom, cervical strain, bruised ribs and possible dislocated shoulder. I have seen a Neurologist and have had an MRI that was negative. Since the accident I have been having constant headaches and dizzy spells daily. Some days are worse than others. I am being told that it is the affects of the concussion and may last for several weeks to a few months. Has anyone experienced this? I am on a new medication for the headaches and Im not sure if the way I am feeling is the meds or the concussion... I see the Neurologist in another week. |

You need to get off the computer. Don't watch TV or any digital content. Avoid bright lights or over stimulating visual content.
It's good you checked back on your condition. It will take time. I have had 11 sports related concussions. Each are a bit different. Varying degrees will affect you differently. |
| I have really cut back on the screen time. The first week I just sat in a chair and listened to music with my eyes closed. This is going on for more than a month now. Yesterday I was very dizzy and felt unstable. Today I am clear but have a bad headache... It's just all very strange. I had a concussion 15 years ago from a very similar accident but had no affects like I am having now. |
