Default Head sensitivity explanatio
Hi everyone.

After 1 year and 4 months, my PCS has pretty much subsided for the most part. The main residual symptom I still have is touch sensitivity. If I am touched on my head, especially in the back of my head, I get foggy and a strange feeling occurs. I went to my neurologist and he explained to me that this will go away with time. Out of curiosity, I wanted to know what exactly causes this sensitivity? For all those who are well versed in concussions, your opinion would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I had a similar kind of sensitivity. Although a touch wouldn't bother me, walking on hard surfaces did. It went away after like 2-3 months. I suspect it might have something to do with soft tissue neck injury? I'm seeing a NUCCA chiro in two weeks.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOM!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting this. I just asked this question last week. I didn't know what to say was wrong except for pain and heat from the laceration site!!!

This is exactly what is happening. Not that I want surgery or more meds but it's nice to put a name to what is going on.
