Ooo What are (un)common symptoms while recovering from a Concussion.

Hello forum!

Forgive me if this has been answered a thousand times over, but the volume of posts is overwhelming, so i've allowed myself to post a new topic.

About 2 month ago (April 27th) i took a pretty bad spill on my bike, resulting in a number of bone fractures in my face + general molestation .. and, obviously, a concussion!

These days i'm doing quite alright, for which i am grateful, but a few things are still bugging me and what i would like to learn is whether or not these issues are fairly common. I should add that none of these issues are crippling as such. I'm also aware that the recovery time of a concussion has a broad range!

I have the usual suspects: light fatigue and concentration problems. A strange "not-really-a-headache" but more of a warm, tense kind of feeling in the back of my head - usually at the end of the day, or whenever i've had a long and demanding schedule ..

However, i also have a few symptoms that haven't popped up during my searches for pcs related info.

I *sometimes* have a strange buzzing sensation and some light jitter in my feet or hands - usually when i'm holding a limb in a non-idle position; same goes for my eyes if i pinch them. It's like i'm not capable of sending a steady "signal" to said limbs ..

I do have to eat and drink very regularly - almost at clockwork precision, or else i will suffer the consequences - this is a major change compared to my "stamina" before the injury.

Other random things will come and go after a few days; i've had minor issues with vision (depth-perception, response to bright or dark rooms), mild tinnitus, ect.

All in all i would imagine that the road to recovery would be a gradual reduction in symptoms, and not the addition of new ones, despite only lasting for a few days .. but i'm no expert on my condition, which is why i'm asking here.

I should mention that i've had an MR scan (after a light of suspicion of ms) and luckily nothing showed up. The neurologist mentioned that the above symptoms were "plausible", but i guess it would be wrong of her to specifically say "this is normal, this is not" since every concussion seems very individual.

Thank you for your time!

Best,
Rune / Denmark
