Angry Out of options

My daughter received a bat to her head, she lost consciousness for a brief period, in April of 2016. Four months later she had a soccer ball hit to her head, this time it blew her eye( reacted different to light, she was told she suffered another concussion) a year later she had someone take her feet out from behind her and she fell straight on her face.

IN the past 2 years she has had physical therapy, acupuncturist, chiropractic(also cervical)decompression surgery, ton of pills, nerve block, massage and nothing has helped. She has had a headache everyday since April. Her pain in normally at a 5 but any stressor will put her at an 8. In January this year she tried to take her own life.

She has said the pain every day is not worth it. Somme times there is a lot of pressure and sometimes its a stabbing sensations. I don't know what else to do for her. Every time she leaves the house I worry. Her quality of life is not the same. She has memory problems. She has been in counseling and they say they can't help her because she is not depressed, just in so much pain.

I am thinking maybe a lumbar puncture might help with the pressure and maybe see if she has a leak. I know one of the MRI showed a small patch of fluid but it was not anything that they thought would cause anything so it went unchecked. I feel I am out of options. Does anyone have anything that has helped them?
