Hi there, I don't really go on message boards so I'm new to this but I'm just wanting some advice. About 15years ago I had a smack to the head with a steel bar from a cattle cage, its a long story but it never got checked out I got knocked out and flew a few meters, I am now 30 and I am finding over the years im forgetting a few important things and difficulty concentrating along with a few other things, so I went to the drs and just let him know about the accident and so he ordered a ct scan, when I went for the results he already had a referral for a mri scan done and said theres a possible shearing hemorrhage, now I freaked with the ct scan and so getting a mri was nerve racking for me as im claustrophobic, my husband pretty much said no one is forcing you and its not like it can be fixed so he doesn't see the point, I guess I was a little concerned about things getting worse, do I just carry on with life until things get to bad if they do or get it checked, would drs randomly give out mri referrals? Just a little unsure now
