cl16,

You basically have a brain bruise in a localized area. It appears it did not cause bleeding. That is good. At this point, there is not much you can do other than learn to tolerate the symptoms while your brain tries to heal. A good diet with nutritional supplementation is advised. Omega 3 fish oil with good DHA and EPA plus the B's and anti-oxidants (C, E) are important.

You may benefit from a Neuro Psychologist Assessment. This can help you understand if this injury has changed the way your brain is working. This type of injury can effect executive functioning. If it has, there are some skills you can learn to make up for any deficits.

Is there a neuro rehabilitation hospital near you? A consult with a neuro psychologist and physiatrist at such a hospital would be worthwhile.
