Hi hockeymom, and welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm glad you found your way here.

If it were me, I'd be tempted to get to a neurologist sooner than soon. It sounds to me like he suffered a concussion. I've had a couple of those and one was as a child. It took awhile to recover from it, but I remember the head pain and the blurred vision. I had another as an adult in a car accident. Same thing. Terrible headaches and blurred vision which eventually cleared up.

I'm certainly no expert, but isn't it normal for a child to have sudden growth spurts? I knew when my daughter was as she would get terrible 'growing pains' most especially in her legs.

Yes it could all be coincidence. But shame on the p-doc saying he just had a bump on the head. It would seem concussion is more on the spot!

If you haven't already found it, here is a link to Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=92

I hope you'll give us an update on how your son is doing.
