10 year-old son w/PCS
Hi-
I found this forum searching online. I can relate! My son has been diagnosed? w/PCS. It has been 5 weeks since a big hit in football. Fell sideways from counterstool next night-loss of balance??No other symptoms at all so he continued to practice for 2 weeks and then symptoms of bad headaches, major fatigue. A visit to the pediatrician, maybe PCS but why no symptoms for 2 weeks after that hit? Maybe another little hit in practice? 2 trips to the Children's Healthcare in ATL ER with worsening symptoms including a call from school nurse that his pupils were dilated uneven and he needed to be looked at. CAT scan, MRI and EEG fine-neurologist said just come back for 6 week f/u. Prednisone no help Motrin no relief from headaches. Made it through 1 day of school that week. Saw sports concussion specialist last Thursday morning who took him out of school for that day and Fri and no stimulation, no activity through entire weekend. Took him off Motrin since doesn't seem to work anyway. Still had a couple of headaches and then back to school yesterday w/ 1 hr in clinic for a bad afternoon headache. Completely fatigued w/ muscle soreness. Now what? Any suggestions. All indications are that this is PCS but drs not even sure he had a concussion-so frustrating!!!
