Been a while. Hope those in pain find comfort.
Concussion was 2.75 years ago. Tapped the head a few times in the first year. Hit a tree branch at one point, then backed into a hanging chandelier a year or two ago. Nothing else til today. Sitting into the dentist chair, swung the left side of my head into the hanging lamp. I'm wondering how bad the pain wll be & how long it will last. Not going to worry, Mark. I know that Jesus persevered through the worst & claimed victory. And that our hope is in Him. I'm just feel so defeated by not carefully watching where I was moving my head. Lord help us all please. |

Your reaction to this impact will be what it is. You know the protocol for recovery. I am sorry to hear you impacted your head. Been there many times.
My best to you.

I have been recovering from an MTBI for 2 years. I have been jolted a few times over that span (a minor car accident, etc) and had a return of symptoms (light to moderate). With all the public talk about repeat concussions and CTE. Are these small bumps and jolts that produce symptoms increase my chances at developing CTE over the longer term?

I was doing quite well on the road to recovery apart from being unsteady on my feet which caused me to fall down the stairs before Christmas- hitting my head a few times on the way down
 It has set me back about 4 months but as Mark says you become better prepared for the recovery

Hope you get back on track again soon. I also recently reinjured myself. I had been feeling close to normal and was living life again, and now the dizziness and debilitating nausea are unfortunately back. So frustrating.

This is my worst fear, that I will get close to feeling better and get reinjured. I'm terrified of the thought.
Luckily (?) or perhaps sarcastically, I'm nowhere near feeling better yet so at this point it may not make a difference. Sigh. Very sorry to hear you got hurt again.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime. NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time. About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me! |

It could be that you just get a headache for a couple days, or you could completely start over and even have your symptoms change on you. I have bumped my head hard many times, but only 4 or 5 of them actually made my condition worse for more than a day or two and every one of them changed they type and severity of different symptoms.
So, basically, wait and see, and good luck! Live Long and Prosper! In Christ, Margarite

Since the first concussion I have continually knocked my head into different things purely by accident or from being stupid. These many concussions over a short period of time have caused constant migraines, nausea, and dizziness/lack of balance. Migraine triggers are: light sensitivity (especially to florescent or bright lights) sound sensitivity (especially to high pitched or loud sounds) temperature sensitivity (especially to cold or extreme heat) activity (especially if breathing increases or head is jostled) pressure on head (sinuses, hats, headbands, sunglasses, pony-tails) lacks or quality (food, sleep, water) tension (stress, tight muscles, tired eyes, sickness) |
