Default first meeting with my nuero wasnt what i expected.

i dont even know if there was a point in going at this point. I basically told them my life story since my concussion. All they really want me to do is get more sleep he said. he prescribed me some Amitriptyline HCL for sleep but after reading side effects i doubt ill take it and just go with Melatonin. i get about 5 hours a night he said should for 7 regularly

One thing he did do though is give me 3 shots in my head at the point of impact where i was getting headaches.....is this normal? he said it will stop the sharp pains and the shots actually kinda hurt.

overall i delt with his 4 year medical student for the first 40 minutes as she took notes and did tests and he came in for 10 minutes and sent me on my way. he wants to see me in 4 months. he didnt feel the need for another scan since my CT was ok and i passed all his tests for motor skills and other tests.


does this sound about right for my first session. he kind of gave me the attitude that he didnt need to listen to me because he knew what was going on and pretty much let me know only time will heal.

i was hoping for a MRI or something or a steroid type pill to help fix my eye symptons if that even exists
