What say thee, fellow TBI sufferers?
Ok so as I've mentioned previously I've had a recent resurgence of my headaches. Coupled with that is severe neck stiffness/soreness that is a brutal and debilitating at times. Feels like my trachea, spine, whatever is pushing from the back of my neck to the front; almost like everything is swelling. I can't make it through the day without a 3-4 hour nap and if I don't get one I'm a mess the next day. I have to be able to function at work and that's proving difficult. My GP suggested that if it keeps up I consultant my neurologist. I don't know if this is concussion related or not. I have a history of migraines. My pain management regime seems not to be working anymore.
I don't know what to do. My doctor seems to think I should be beyond the system of the concussions. The neurologist was pleased with my progress. I honestly don't know what would have caused any of this. Suggestions?

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
