I fell march 7 skiing in CA and hit the back of my head. Went to urgent care 2 days later. They immediately sent me to the ER and they did a CT of my Brain, neck, and spine. It was clear. Told me it was a concussion and I had a 10 day no fly order. When I was cleared to fly I came home mon and went back to work Friday I then proceeded to have a problem over the next 2 weeks. I went to a dr. Told me it was a concussion and told me to get an mri. That came back clear. I went to the er a month out they admitted me spent 4 days there. They did another ct it was clear. There was a talk of a spinal tap but that was only brought up once and never mentioned again. Everything they gave me didnt really work. They tried a nerve block for Occipital neuralgia that did nothing. So when they let me go they said it was post concussion syndrome and follow up with a dr. So I searched for a concussion clinic. Got all set up with some specialists the meds werent doing anything I was still in a lot of pain but I had hope I know meds dont just work overnight. Neither does physical therapy. When we stopped my pt I made an appointment with head of the concussion clinic and he ordered another mri of my neck. They have done one already not sure it will show anything different or if I can even sit through it. No matter what I cant touch my head and I highly doubt they will let me bring an ice pack in to let me rest my head on. So I just dont know of anything anymore. The neurologist he is referring me to see I cant see till Jan the other neurologist in her practice I have a appointment with on jun 18. So I am going to try Jefferson neurosciences in Philadelphia. But I heard they have a waitlist too. I am waiting to hear back from one of those NUCCA Clinics. Not sure how I feel about that. The only drs I have really dealt with are PAs and thats at the practice where I am on the waiting list till June. So I am going to do a consult and go from there. I dont know anymore.
