Hi Michelle..with an intra-axial hematoma it sounds like what we call a "chemical menigimus"..the blood products from the hematoma are severly irritating the meninges and other structures of the brain..I have seen this once or twice in my practice, and the docs are right..your body will reabsorb the blood slowly.

In the mean time there is no reason why you cannot be on pain meds..please call your PMD and ask for a pain killer to tide you over until you get to the neurologist.. ( and not an anti inflammatory..that will not help)

Good luck
