I am not sure that this is a PCS issue or a disc problem or perhaps both. I noticed today on my drive home that I was really putting a strain on my neck and neck muscles when I didn't rest my head against the headrest. I have never noticed this and was just curious. The other piece of information, I have had a very bad day;headache, fogginess, trouble typing the words in the correct format, or recalling them at all.

I can't tell you whether the neck problems are PCS related or not, probably not...but I can relate to having a bad day.
I'm struggling with everything you described today. Hope your day improves.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI. Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain. Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms. Slowly but surely regaining my life back. |

The neck issue is very likely connected to the head issue. Especially since they are directly connected. Muscle spams in the upper neck can magnify PCS symptoms.
Glad to hear your kids are on your team. They can be very observant and empathetic. My best to you.
