Terrible Headaches and Sharp Pain in Head
Hello, on Oct 26 I was in a bicycle accident and received a concussion. I did go to ER, had an MRI of the brain and all looked good. I was given some anti-inflammatory meds and some muscle relaxants and sent home.
The first week I had alot of nausea, movement of my head and too much motion (being in stores or driving) seemed to give me the nausea. Light was hard on my eyes (especially behind my eyes) and made the pressure in my forehead worse. I could not even raise my eyebrows with it hurting. Memory was terrible! I was not forming my sentences correctly to speak.
Second week (last week) I started having alot of headaches, daily. Aleve nor the ant-inflammatory meds could take these headaches away. If I had some red wine the headaches would subside and I read alcohol is not good for recovery.
Along with the headaches I have been getting sharp pain in my head that start at the bump site and in a very thin line thru my skull I will feel this bolt of pain. It doesn't happen a few times a day, this is many times a day. The pain can be enough to keep me from sleeping at night.
Yesterday I went shopping. All last week driving and shopping had been fine. Motion was not bothering nearly like it did the first week. I almost got sick yesterday, motion was giving me issues again. I was feeling the nausea feelings. Yesterday was the worst day for a headache, I just wanted to cry the pain was that bad.
I have done some reading and know concussions are different for everyone. Just wondering if this rings a bell for anyone?? Your input appreciated.
