Default PCS help!

Hi, I had a head injury 6 weeks ago stunting in Cheerleading, a girl fell on my head from the air and knocked me to the ground from standing, landing sat on my head and neck. I lost vision in both eyes for a few minutes but did not lose consciousness. I regained vision in my right eye but had loss of peripheral vision and general visual disturbance in my left eye for the next three weeks. I was seen at eye clinic twice where I was told that my vitreous had come away from my retina but that it would heal. My vision has gotten better but still have occasional problems. 10 days after my head injury, whilst tumbling, I started to get intense head pain, like I was being stabbed in the head just behind my left eye. I have had a constant headache since then, which is about a month now, and been to A&E today where they did a CT scan which came back normal. In the first two weeks I managed taking paracetamol, but now I can't take it as it makes me worse, the pain increases, I feel nauseous and become more confused and struggle with speech. I feel a bit hopeless as this has been a long time to be in so much pain, it's really affecting my university work, I'm struggling with daily life, apparently there is nothing wrong, and I feel like there is nothing I can do about it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated!
