[I am new to NeuroTalk. In June 2011 I was building a wire gate on the ranch I work on. I have built them many times, but on this ocassion a wire came free and a hedge gate post cracked me in the head. Stubborn me didn't go to the ER even though I drove to the other side of town before realizing where I was. After a few days I seemed to get my mind back to normal, I would have pressure in my head in the evenings and when visiting a bigbox store I would check my blood pressure and it would be thru the roof. Thinking this is my only problem I head to the DR. to get it addressed. Once the blood pressure comes down the rest of my symptoms explode. Granted this is now months after the head injury. Now I have went to one neurologist who just doesn't seem to want to do anything, nothing but take my money for months. Now workers comp is envolved and their neurologist thinks I need to take Aleve or Acetomenophen. This is after not examining me. I have always hated Doctors now I know why. they take and take your money but when something is wrong they just turn a blind eye to you. The first neurologist diagnosed me with TBI and the last one with chronic post concussion syndrome. I just want to get better.

Does anyone know what I am talking about when I say I can feel it coming on. I don't really get a headache but usually a burning sensation in the spot where the post hit me. Then as it progresses I loose my concentration and my balance. I don't really notice it so much but other people I work with say that I start moving really slow. Some times it gets bad enough where I cann't talk and other times I cant come up with what I want to say and my speech is slow. I have tried to conve what is happening to the dr.s.

Has anyone else had this? Will it eventually go away]

Hi I have had many head injuries. I can't state that I have had exactly the same issue you are having. But yes I have had some very close to
the same thing.

I have issues of concentration, off balance, and missing words at times. But when I have a head injury, I can have many things happen.

But the best thing you can do is find a Neurologist that understands

Traumanic brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome.

Which is the hardest thing to get over. I have a standard thing I
usually have to do. I end up getting into my primary after a incident.
And usually have to go to physical therapy because if I have a head injury
I need to have my balance rechecked also.

I have had Issues with this before that had to be taken care of with
vestibular training.

We have a TBI and Post Tramatic Injury group here. That I highly recommend
you come visit.

We have many that are excellent at helping.
