Post Parietal lobe

Since im turning into walking timebomb does anyone has had any experience with Parietal lobe ?

The right side of my parietal lobe is like 3 times bigger then left, the area of it is very hot 24/7, my neurologist didnt said anything about it just that there is the injury in that area, and its even noticable in MRI images that its bigger.

Really bothers me, it was like that after the injury for first month, then i didnt made an attention to it, i thought its not that big anymore and then i did it last week and realized its just as big as it was....really frustrating.

I don't know anything about this sort of thing, but if your neurologist has seen the MRI showing this and does not seem to be worried that you are a 'walking time bomb' then I would guess that you are not.

I complain about neurologists and their knowledge of PCS a lot but I would have thought that interpreting abnormal MRI scans is something they would be better at, something they really would have been trained well to do. Sounds scary but I think it would be best for you to try not to worry too much, if you can.

Most of the regular posters here seem to have symptoms which don't show up on an MRI scan. This probably not because an injury showing up on an MRI scan is very unusual or will necessarily be a disaster - instead it is probably because if our injuries are not severe enough to show on an MRI scan we are more likely to be capable of posting on the internet.

There are probably lots of people with enlarged parietal lobes who are worse off than you and are too sick to post on this forum - that doesn't mean you are unusual or that bad things will happen to you.

You are obviously well enough to post on the internet and your doctor has seen the MRI scan and doesn't think anything catastrophic is going to happen. So try not to worry, anxiety is bad for you.
