Default 3.5 years post concussion still experencing symptoms

Hi Everyone,

Couple of things, I am 3.5 years post my concussion still having some symptoms.

Are there any diagnostic tests I should do? I have had a CT scan of brain, MRI of whole neck, X rays of neck. Everything has come back clean.

Should I get an MRI of my brain? (Seems like if they found something there is nothing that could be done because I am functioning well and would not want to risk brain surgery)

Or a lumbar puncture? (This seems like a good option because I feel like I always have pressure in my head)

Also something I am really struggling with is when my head gets bumped (even very slightly) I am worried I did damage (even though I know it is impossible that I did any damage). How do I get over this? I am so sensitized to anything touching my head. For instance a volleyball lightly hit me in the head yesterday and I am still worried about it. I know that in about another day I won't even really think about it.

Thanks for the help everyone!
