cungham89,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear about your husband.

MsRriO is right about getting a good NeuroPsychological Assessment from someone who understands concussions. Most have a bias against long term symptoms from concussions.

There is some excellent information at www.tbilaw.com and www.subtlebraininjury.com

What are your husband's symptoms ?
What diagnosis and treatments have been done ?
Where do you live ?
Different locations have different services available.

A Diffusion Tensor Image MRI or fMRI ( functional MRI ) can sometimes prove helpful if you have access to them.

Your husband may also have an undiagnosed and untreated upper neck injury. The joint between C-1/atlas and the occiput (base of the skull) may be damaged and unstable. It can cause muscle spasms and inflammation that lead to head aches and a myriad of symptoms.

We are here to help. Please feel free to share.

My best to you.
