Frown 2MO post concussion ~> continued symptoms

Hello Forum, I am a 26year old female from the MW. No previous health issues to speak of. Anyway, on the 18th of December last year I recieved a head injury at work (3 2x4 boards dropped onto my head). After visiting multiple doctors and clinics as advised by my workers comp contact, and recieving CT scans they found that I had a concussion and contusion near my right temple.

Today, 2months plus later, I am still having issues that I believe stem from this. I've been having terrible headaches, dizzyness, nausea, and other symptoms for the entire duration. They had put me on Tramadol & Meclazine initally. The tramadol wasn't effective (although the meclazine helped the dizzyness to a degree) so they changed the perscription to Cyclopenzaprine; which is also no help for my head and caused stomach pains, so I was advised to quit taking it.

After my last doctors apppintment they released me 'in good health' but I'm still having daily, almost attacks, of head pain. I plan on going to a non-workmans comp doctor soon, but thought to ask if anyone had any insight as to what I should do to solve these headaches! Thank you.
