Your questions are not answerable. They are of no importance anyway.

Your symptoms are all that matters.

If you have any new symptoms like a loss of vision or muscle control or tingling on one side of your body or face, get to the ER. An extreme head ache would also justify a trip to the ER.

What symptoms are you experiencing now?

What are you doing to help with recovery?
Hi mark. Thanks for the response.
I hit my head on the top , closer to the front. I am experiencing pain off and on at the top but it is towards the back of my head. I dont understand why it doesnt hurt where the impact took place.
I am currently taking 800mgs of ibuprofen spread across two servings a day. The doc in the ER the second time totally disregarded the naproxen and told me to take Tylenol or ibeuprofin because I had a muscle strain. The tingly feeling come on randomly for about 5 mins and leaves. It only happens on the right side of my head. From the top to the ear. My face does not feel tingly. I habe no loss of vision in that i have not been blinded. The rooms dont seem hazy anymore. I have not experienced loss of muscle contol. Its just that wyen I do experience pain in my head, it is in the back of the head from rigth above where the skull ends, all the way down the sides of my neck.The faint ringing has stopped in my right ear but came for about a few seconds today.
I went to the gym today and my head hurts in the back so I think i will lay off that again for a while.
Other than the ibuprofen, I have done nothing between 12/27 (day of incident) and 1/11 except get plenty of sleep, and sit on the couch watching tv. This is to ensure that I got plenty of rest. Could my concussion be acting up with my sinuses? The doctor did ask me if I had bad sinuses before he gave me the results of my second scan.

I am so lost and do not knoe what to do. I feel like a blind man in the dark just searching for what is wrong and how I can fix it
My family doctor just keeps telling me that it takes 6 weeks for a concussion to heal and if it doesnt by then, he will refer me to a neurologist.
