Peter 11,

The fact that your symptoms are coming and going is a good sign. Frustrating though it is that the headaches are back, you are recovering in some way. I used to have the most dreadful light and noise sensitivity, wave sensations and crushing headaches which were only relieved by Imigran. I uderstand the Post Concussion Headaches should be treated as migraines.


Now I have these symptoms coming and going, I am on my feet all day without having to lie down and the headaces have been replaced by left or right sided muscular head tension. I would say if I over did things I would need the migraine meds again, but by quiet rest between gentle activity I feel I am slowly recovering. I am told that even when you feel 100% symptoms will still come back, its all part of the PCS journey.

Good luck with your recovery!

Peter you may want to ask for Myofascial release therapy. The muscles in your neck and back can get spasms so tight they can be extremely painful. Physical therapy is very important with the release therapy. The spine must be in alignment or the release therapy will not be effective. The spasm are not what most think of. Instead of a clinch and release the muscles are in a almost constant state of clinch. The release is so slight as to not be noticeable.
