sohidt,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You experience sounds familiar. The doctors comments are not uncommon either.

It sounds like you make have exacerbated your old injury, especially an unresolved upper neck injury. Upper neck injuries such as those associated with a concussion often cause headaches and many other concussion symptoms. Not many doctors can help with the subtle neck injuries common ton concussions.

Upper cervical chiros can help and some uniquely gifted physical therapists can help. But, it takes a lot of discipline when sleeping and resting for the upper neck to heal and strengthen. Sleeping with your head and neck in a straight position is very important. It takes months to see improvements.

You may not have any soreness or stiffness in your neck. The issue is usually just some inflammation that puts pressure on cervical and cranial nerves and arteries.

Your activity level will need to be cut back to allow time to heal. No flips or other gyrations.

If you have any other symptoms, feel free to post them. How did you suffer your concussion last January ?
