Default Post Concussion Syndrome 19 yr old

Hello, I am so glad that I found this site. I feel like I am all alone in helping my daughter deal with her PCS. She is a college student in the Boston area. A 25lb weight fell onto her head 4 months ago, it was a grade 2 concussion, she immediately stopped all of her physical activity (she is on the crew team), and she had to drop one of her classes. While she was home for the holidays, she was able to completely rest for one month. She went for a second opinion out here, this doctor told her to continue to rest and also put her on 50mg of Elavil. She has been on the medication for 5 wks. Now she is back at school for the spring semester and she still gets daily headaches from concentrating, loud noises, bright lights and is often very tired – just not herself. She saw a new neurologist a few days ago who seems sympathetic with her suffering and has referred her for an MRI and also wants her to go to see a specialist at the Faulkner Hospital/John R. Graham Headache Center in Boston. Does anyone have any comments to make about the medication, the headache center, getting an MRI, how to help my daughter get back to her old self? From what I am reading, MRIs do not really show anything... Thank you.
