I hit the back top left part of my head 3 months ago. Ive already posted that I have PCS. Im doing much better and can see improvements but one thing is really sticking out to me.

The spot where I hit my head during the day will get little ice pick headaches and tension headaches. It feels like the size of a dime or so in my brain that has these sharp pains. Its not unbearable I can deal with it fine and it goes away but during the day i will have random sharp pains in the point of impact.

Also when i meditate if i focus on the point of impact on my brain i can feel were it seems to be damage through mind control. it doesn't hurt and its hard to explain i can just feel it like a bruise with no pain

Are my little head pains where i hit my head normal? is it most likely my brain healing itself and rewiring or tension headaches?

What are the chances of a cyst or aneurism devolving because that's whats scaring me.

thanks

From what I understand, an aneurysm would cause more symptoms than just pain. Have you discussed this with a doctor?

My injury was the right frontal region. I suffer from pist concussion headaches. I also get the sharp stabbing pain, sensation. It hurts but because its a fleeting pain I think we look at it differently. I feel its response to stimulia as well as rapid changes in the weather. I wish you luck. Mark I did ask my neuro and he said since its been almost a,year he isnt concerned. He feels in nine months to a year ill regain some working capacity. I wont regain full cognitive or moods as I had before. Not so sure what mood is about. Good luck! "

When he talks about mood, he likely means your personality issues/struggles will not improve. PCS can cause a tendency to be more intense or even argumentative about issues. The rigid thinking of PCS can stay with you.

These issues can be resolved with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) where you learn to recognize situations and redirect your thought processes. You learn to use cognitive thought rather than emotional responses to stressful situations.

You may need some assistance with communication skills. You may be unable to quickly understand others moods and inflections. But again, knowing you have this limitation allows you to choose a different way to response.

For me and many I know, there is a need to be slow to respond and maybe even step back away from a situation before responding.

If you are willing to be humble enough to accept others impressions of your communications, you can actually become a better communicator because you will have learned to listen better and wait to respond.

We sort of get an easy excuse for previous communication problems. We can blame it on our injury and choose to learn to be better people.

Without the PCS, all we can blame it on is a personal tendency to be a jerk or something. We tend to not accept our own deficiencies well. So, blame it on the broken brain and learn new skills.

We just need to be prepared for those times where our PCS communication symptoms come roaring along and we embarrass ourselves and get in trouble.

If you have taken the time to listen to others critique your personality and communication weaknesses, you may post their comments here. We can help you learn new ways to respond.

I hope you understand what I am trying to say. It helps to get family involved to be able to move forward without hurt feelings.

My best to you.
