My 10 year old son recieved a concussion sept. 16th 2006, 7 months later he still has headaches daily, by feb 2007 he was able to attend school 3 hrs a day. our ninth doctor who is a tbi specialist suggested botox injections. i think it was the biggest mistake ive ever made, besides letting him play football in the first place. the shots have set him back to almost the beginning only now he is nausus all the time with his headaches, one hit to the head not even knocking him out, is tearing our lives apart, i live in the 4th
largest city in the u.s. 5 minutes away from the biggest medical center in the country and no one can help him. it also seems to have weakened his immune system he is on his 4th bout with diarreha feeling like he's gonna throw up. the doctor says the botox could not make him worse but there is no other explanation. we've seen 2 nueroligist,nuerosurgeon, nuero-phsycologist,neuro optomtrist,ent docs sports doc,tbi specialist had mri,cat scan, both showed nothing. My son is now 11 tries to stay positive. I promised him I would not give up on trying to find help, but I'm running out of options and the docs are just blowing me off because they feel helpless too. My son was an honor role student and an active child now he has gained about twenty lbs. and is as smart as ever but cannot go to school or do much because of the pain and being wiped out. Does anybody out there have any suggestions?
