Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.

I hate to be repeating myself.

Have you done any icing of your lower back?

When in doubt, get the ice pack out.

Hi Mark,

Yes, I have 2 bags of frozen peas just to ice my neck and back of the head, while the other I place on my lower back & mid back when I have pain on the broken rib.

The swellings are not going down. Even the back of the head is still swollen.

I feel a bit of relief when I have a hot shower, I pick the shower head up, put it in max pressure and position on the lower back area.

I was wondering if I should ask a referral to see a orthopedist, or should I assume it's really just muscles and nerves and find a chiropractor?!

It's almost 1 month since my accident, I find it strange that the swelling areas are the same, the rest hasn't improved it at all.

I don't feel any urge to go to the bathroom at all. It could go all day long and nothing. It's a very strange feeling. I have been "forcing" myself around 4 times a day for the past 10 days or so, but never have a relief or emptiness feeling.

Anyone else with the same problem? What is the GP advice on this matter?
How could I know if I'm having liquids retention?
Are you drinking plenty of fluids? Are you sweating the fluids out thru work or exercise? also, are you on narcotics? they are notoroious for causing urinary retention so watch for that if you are on them.
