LillyBelle77,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I'm confused. How do you know you suffered a subdural hematoma ?

What is pressure dizziness ? Many have dizziness. But, it is a broadly used term. There is vertigo, lightheadedness, etc. It sounds like you may mean vertigo. Has anybody tried the Epley Maneuver ?

Balance is connected to vision so vision issues can cause problems. Have you been assessed by a behavioral optometrist ? Was that what the Neuro Rehab clinic did ? Or, did they assess you with Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy techniques ? Or was it a vestibular assessment ?

That PT sounds scary. I wonder if he made your condition worse.

Was this a work injury ? You say the doctor is limited by comp. Do you mean Worker's Comp ?

"she put me back on full duty and said that five months was more than enough time to recover from a brain injury. " The neuro sounds like a Work Comp hack. There is no way to put a timeline on a brain injury, even if it was only a concussion.

The imaging may have been clear but that does not rule out every concern. WC tries to use imaging to say there is nothing wrong so they can close the claim. The resolution of an MRI is only 1 to 2 mms. Subtle neck injuries are very common and do not image by normal means. Some get help from upper cervical chiros. The chiro you saw likely just resolved the more acute issue but not the chronic subtle issues.

Keep in mind that every discipline will only clear you by their skills. Some think they know more than the limits of their discipline. Many of us need to keep looking until they find the specialist who knows how to diagnose and understand your issues.

What state are you in ? Does your state allow you to choose your own care, especially after so many of their doctors not finding a solution ?

Please read the Vitamins sticky at the top. It has a lot of information besides brain based vitamin information.
