Default Concussion 6 weeks in. sudden weird sympton: leg tremor?

Hi,

I had my first concussion 6 weeks ago. I fell and hit the timber floor on my chin. I blacked out for 10 seconds and don't remember the accident at all. I remember what happened before and after the accident. I felt absolutely fine after the fall, no cognitive dysfunction was seen. I was discharged from the ER with a minor head injury. No scans were done.

I started feeling weird 2 days after the accident. Typical post concussive symptoms: headaches, foggy, de-realization, fatigue, trouble sleeping, tinnitus, bad memory, feeling really tired if I was in the city for a long time, feeling lost when there were too many things and people around, loss for words. I had 4 days off work. The first two weeks were hell: the symptoms fluctuated and I felt lost all the time. I use the computer fine and have no visual problems. No neck pain. No imbalance.

I am getting better now, slowly. However, there is a weird symptom that I am worried about. Within the first week, I started noticing rhythmic muscle tingling in both of my legs. Doctor said that it is unlikely nerves disorder but only my body is reacting against the traumatic event happened to my brain. I trust my doctor.

The tingling subdued but for the past few days, I have had very bad tremor on the back of my left leg. The tremor feel like something is shaking deep inside my leg, all the time - more when I rest and try to sleep. No obvious shaking of the leg is seen.

Has anyone experienced this symptoms?
