I had a bad concussion 1/02/2013, slipped on a driveway my feet flew out in front of me and smacked the back of my head. I never lost consciousness and no physical damage just the annoying "we can't find anything wrong physically". I was diagnosed with PCS from what my neurologist called a TBI since my chronic headaches and memory issues are still with me.

On December 3rd, I fell and hit my hip on the outside corner of the metal frame of my bed. Lots of pain and when I finally stood up and put weight on my right leg I fell again and landed on my right arm. I can't remember how long I laid there with my weight on my arm,I think I may have passed out from the pain. I do remember landing on the floor the second time and it was excruciatingly painful.Eventually I got in touch with family,they got me to the hospital,nothing broken just bruised hip,right hand and right arm.

A few days later,my right foot and lower right leg swelled up a great deal,no discoloration,no pain.Then swelling around the outside of my right eye,same thing,no pain or change in color.All swelling went down so I figured no big deal. The stupid thing was I never called my doctor or went to the ER but I did take pictures of my swollen foot and leg.

A few days later my right hand started to tingle,then my left,then a day later I get the burning pain.I call my primary nurse practitioner and she sends me to a hand specialist/surgeon and he diagnosis me with CRPS.

I went to see my neurologist and he ordered a sonogram for the swelling which was negative,no blood clots and ordered an MRI with contrast of my C spine which showed a small area of spinal fluid inside my spinal chord at the height of my C-7 vertebrae but it's very small. He sent me to a neuro surgeon who wants to see yet another MRI of my C-spine,a closed MRI. Neither my neurologist nor the neurosurgeon think I have CRPS. When I explained my symptoms to the surgeon he suggested a ganglion nerve block which I thought was one of the possible treatments for CRPS.

The reason I asked if peripheral neuropathy symptoms could take a year to show up was because my neurologist thinks that my burning hands are due to my initial concussion from over a year ago but I think it has everything to due from landing on my arm in a off manner and probably staying in that position for several hours. I also have similar,but not as intense feelings in both feet.
