2-3 weeks isn't that long in the mTBI/PCS recovery process. The MRI may not show anything but that doesn't mean you didn't receive a concussion. Watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, sleep problems or anxiety or other mood changes.

If these present a referral to a neurologist or a physiatrist that specializes in TBI may be in order.

BTW, stuff happens, don't blame yourself. This from a guy who walked in front of a moving light rail commuter train.

Very best to you.

Thanks so much for the advice.

You made a rather miraculous recovery. It is amazing you regained your physical health and cognitive skills and are back to work.

That must have taken incredible drive and determination.
I am happy for you.

Thanks again, D.
