I do not have any tenderness behind my ears but have lots of 'pressure' behind the left eye.
It is possible that I have an undiagnosed injury other than the concussion which accounts for some of the above symptoms. MRI and CT scan reveal nothing. The Neurologist suggested a few things;
1. Vestibular damage - light & noise sensitivity, tinnitus, balance & coordination. I am half way through the assessments.
2. Occular nerve damage - pressure behind left eye and tingling in head. This may be determined at a later stage.
3. Depression/anxiety - aggravating all of the symptoms. I don't doubt I am a little depressed and anxious but feel these symptoms are secondary to some form of injury.
Any other suggestions?
He also recommended I get a neuropsychological assessment to determine any damage to areas of the brain controlling language and short term memory etc. I am awaiting my appointment in a week.
The exercise regiment is very reminiscent of the Buffalo Protocol but now I'm a little confused if I should proceed. I suppose it can't make me any worse after 18 months though.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
