Hardtimes,
You do not mention where you live, what state, etc. There are resources available that depend on your location. What kind of diagnostics have you had? Have you had a CT scan since your original hospital x-ray? A concussion can show negative on an immediate x-ray but show up with problems hours to days later. Also, help us out by using paragraph spacing. Many of us have very difficult times following from line to line. It took me forever to read your post. The best is a line space after four lines of comments. As others have said, family practice and other Primary care Physicians are useless with concussion. Even neurologists are prone to misunderstand concussion. Check with your local/state Brain Injury Association for a referral to a good concussion doctor. Put the skateboard away. Hang it on the wall as a momento or such. You brain will not tolerate another bump. Even the best helmets will not protect a brain that has been previously concussed. Second impact syndrome is brutal and can last a lifetime. I am proof of that. Let us know what's up. Quote:

Feel your pain dude. My brain's been mush for the past 3 months, just finally coming out of the haze. Didn't even realize how out of it I was. Don't even really remember the first month and a half after my injury.
Hang in there, make sure you get plenty of rest, and try not to stress. Brain injury is hard to deal with, but try to hang in there. If you haven't seen a neurologist, you might want to try to get an appointment. If there is a hospital in your area that specializes in in brain injuries, that'd be a good place to check out. Good luck. Hang in there! |
