In general, what is the difference between PCS and post-traumatic migraine? Is there a distinct characteristic that gives one away from the other?

I don't know the difference between the two. I just know that I almost had to self diagnose my migraines before my docs could figure it out. Once I came up with migraines there was an "ah hah" moment and we started prophylactics for it and migraine meds, which all seem to help to some degree. I get severe migraines, so the meds only work on the not-so-bad days, and only when I catch them early. I have no info as to the other conditions at all, I was just speaking as to the fact that migraines can and do indeed occur as a result of head/neck trauma because in my case it happened to me.
