Default Neurologist /movement disorder specialist

Hi,
I went undiagnosed for years. I was going to a pain specialist for years for chronic pain and migraine headaches. I kept mentioning these other problems and the fact that I had passed out and hit my head and have had at least 5 concussions before being in the MVA that disabled me totally. It was not until I went to a neurologist / movement disorder specialist that I got a full diagnosis.
Yes I have chronic pain but it is presenting in my body in this way because of the traumatic brain injury / post concussive syndrome. I am in the middle of having neuropsychological testing done which should give me more information and help on what kind of treatment would be beneficial to me at this point. I also had an MRI recently which does show some problems. I understand that the MRI does not always show any problems. I would definately go to a neurologist.
These are neurological symptoms that we have and that is the kind of specialist diagnoses the problem.
Good luck. Hope you get feeling better soon.
Brain
