1. What kind of complication can a compressed brain stem cause?
2. What kind of complications can a vestibular (inner ear) disorder cause? I couldn't find anything online about complications that a compressed brain stem would cause...maybe I'm not searching for the right thing?...and someone on another forum told me that a lot of my symptoms sound like the cause of a vestibular disorder. So I'm wondering what problems that would cause and how I could get some treatment for that? My right ear was bruised after the assault, I've had crazy loud buzzing and ringing in that ear and problems hearing. I'm searching for answers to why my symptoms get worse....

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. |
