Default Strange symptoms?

Among my other symptoms of fatigue, tinnitus and thousands of mini clear through dot floaters when looking directly at the sky I have tingling in my feet.

Is tingling in feet a symptom of PCS?

Also when i bend my head or should is say lean it over over i get bad headaches. I'm wondering if this might be due to a current sinus infection which appears never ending.

I fell around 10 feet and injured my pelvis and arm. unfortunately right side of my head hit also.

First, your floaters are meaningless. You see them because your anxiety causes you brain to focus on them rather than filter them out from conscious awareness. This is a common complaint by PCS sufferers. Many of us have had ophthalmologists examine us for these floaters. The common ophtho response is they do not mean anything unless they are red or brown and do not move around.

The tingling in your feet could be related to anything along your spinal column or to just a blood flow issue with your feet. .

The tingling in the extremities is a common occurrence in spinal cord injury. My hands and feet tingle a lot.

The fact that your feet tingle, when you look up, makes me suspect that you have some damage in your neck. If I look up, it puts extra pressure on the nerves, triggering body tingling and severe headache. You really should have your neck examined thoroughly.

Don't ignore your floaters. As you had a fall, you should ask your eye doctor to check for any signs of retinal detachment. Hopefully, as Mark said, they're just a product of TBI anxiety. However, retinal detachment isn't uncommon in people who sustain their brain injury from car accidents, falls, and other traumas.

Hockey always gives good advice, so probs a good idea to get your eyes checked.

However floaters are perfectly normal in all people, regardless of whether they are injured. They are microscopic particles that get caught in the viscous coating of your eyeball, that is there to do just that. Sometimes with a trick of light and liquid magnifying, it makes them visible to an individual.

Personally I think if your focus has been affected (trouble changing focus on distances, startlement at objects moving close to the face, or overwhelmed by lots of movement) then this may mean you are more prone to focus on closer objects. Aint much closer than on your actually eyeball eh?
