Yet another newbie
 

Hey all,

I'm 23 and suffered a concussion a week ago after hitting my head on a hard surface when I was asleep.

I have all the classic PCS symptoms (the few that worry me are panic attacks/nightmares/inability to sleep, jaw/ear pain and nausea) and I have only been feeling worse as time has gone by. I had an MRI but it was unremarkable so my doc is slightly baffled as to why my symptoms are getting worse and not better.

I was prescribed an anti inflammatory which we thought would help, but it hasn't yet so I am being prescribed a different one tonight. My doctor said if I don't feel better by tomorrow mid-day that I must schedule an appointment with a neurologist. It's been a hell-ish week.

Nice to meet ya'll and I look forward to chatting/posting with you soon!

Ouch
 

Perhaps you just have some inflammation causing you discomfort that will resolve with a little time.

I hope that's the case because the pain is pretty intense.
