Dear CountNomula,
Welcome, sorry to hear about yr predicament. To add to the above info, I do know that if you get the feeling that the floor will move away as you walk this is a concern to neurophysio's. You describe above the unsteadiness you now feel and a lack of confidence.
This can be a symptom of the neck spinal area becoming detatched. It is most common in rugby when a player suffers a head on collision. In your case a head up, but it's still the fact your neck took a full on blow.
What you need is an MRI looking at the soft tissue and tendens in your neck to see if they have shifted or are unstable.
Good luck.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.
I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.
I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
