Yeah, I think I'm just being silly. If it was a tumor, especially one big enough to push on my fingers with that force, it would have shown on either the many CT scans I've had or the MRI's. It takes awhile for a tumor to form...its not an overnight thing.

I'm just wondering what it could be...I did have a blood clot on my brain due to the injury. I've heard they can move to a different location in your body/brain.

Its probably not a toomah, but its pretty scary. I haven't had a headache since October...but one is starting to form in that area.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
