I am the docs can,t say how long but the 2 years is a kinda bench mark but thats not to say we cant get more function back ,but its more likely to be permanent for assessment purposes

it must be hard for pcs sufferers without fractures, because there,s no fractures and people expect you to recover, its like that for me and i have 3 titanium plates in my head but the surgeons did a good job on me, that scaring is not to bad I have heard, that brain injury is a hidden injury , if you lost your leg's folks wouldn't expect you to get up and run
yea my stepmom had PCS for right at 2 years and may have kept having it if the meds hadn't worked guess she was one of the lucky ones,i cant see having permanent damage with no signs of head trauma,that just baffles me.
