Hello, I am so happy to have found this forum. I feel like I am on my own in helping my daughter overcome her post concussion syndrome symptoms.
My daughter is a college student in the Boston area, a 25lb weight fell onto her head 4 months ago, it was a grade 2 concussion, she stopped all of her sport activities (she is on the crew team); had to drop one of her classes because of the horrible daily headaches. She was home for the holidays and really rested for a whole month. I took her for a 2nd opinion out here while she was home, the doctor put her on 50mg of elavil. She has been on the medication for 5 weeks. She still gets headaches everyday from concentrating, loud noises, bright lights, she is tired. Just not herself. She saw a new doctor last week who seemed to take an interest in her suffering. He wants her to get an MRI and see a doctor at the Faulkner Hospital/Graham Headache Center at Brigham Women's Hospital.
This would be her first MRI for this. I have been reading that an MRI and/or CT scan will not show anything. What do others think of getting an MRI now?
Has anyone else gone to this headache clinic and if so, whom did you see and did they help you? Any comments on the medication or anything else we can do to make our daughter whole again?
