PCS won't go away, no sign of improvement after 4 months
I was hit on my bike while going down hill 4 months ago. A cab driver opened his car door without looking, I had no time to react. I hit the door, flipped over it and tumbled down the hill (thankfully I was wearing a helmet, but still...)
Since then I have had uncontrollable constant burping, that is occasionally accompanied by acidic fluid. I can't eat much, if I do and I burp, the food comes up.
I have dull throbbing headaches, that at times turn into debilitating intense migraines. These include blurred vision and dizziness.
I can't stand up fast or move my head too fast without needing to pause for a second to let my vision catch up with my body (hard to explain)
I cannot stress physically or emotionally without starting to gag and/or throw up.
I have been off work since, and don't feel close to being ready to go back yet. The only thing I do is swim (I used to be quite the swimmer and I've had to tone it down and can't bring my heart rate up but I can lightly kick slowly swim until it starts to bother me, then I rest)
My injury is not physically apparent so no one seems to understand what I'm going through. A lot of people neglect me as they feel I should be better by now.
I've been seeing a doctor regularly and he just suggests massage and sleeping pills. I've had an MRI which came up clean, however a bulge in my c6 showed up that is apparently contacting my nerve route.
I have never participated in anything like this before (a forum) but I've been searching through them randomly to get some answers and I thought I would write my own story and see if anyone out there relates to this and has any idea what is happening to me. I don't feel like I'm getting better at all, and really hope it didn't do permanent damage leaving me burping up fluid forever.
Thank you,
Aleis
