what you're saying makes sense thank you so much. I am so glad that I have found this website with so many helpful people
 Yes I do experience neck pain regularly and have also had it checked out by a professional. However, he didn't find anything and just told me to put some ice on it and wait it out. I've also been to a chiropractor but he hasn't helped me either. I'm at a loss what to do... Even though my symptoms are not bad they are still bad enough to bug the hell out of me. Driving on rough roads is terrible and even long walks bother me sometimes. Anxiety is the worst. Many people can probably relate to the ever present fear of re-injuring themselves. I don't really have any routines for calming me down after an anxiety attack other than desperately trying to find a thread on here related to my latest bump or jolt. If you or anyone else has discovered a good technique I'd really appreciate it

Crying will affect your oxygen levels..and that can aggravate overall.
You tense up, gasp, take shallow breaths, it all adds up. Drink fluids and try to relax, learn & practice some mindful relaxation techniques.. https://www.google.com/search?q=mind...es.&gws_rd=ssl Drs may not "find" soft tissue issues, but they can still be there... PTs usually will do a more thorough hands on exam.. soft issue issues can be treated by PT or even self care if you learn how to , from you tube or online information. Some might do better with heat , or alternate heat /ice..

-First TBI in 2011. Iron cellar door closed on my head. Undiagnosed PCS, and was unaware of anything regarding TBI at the time. -2nd TBI in August, 2014. Fell skateboarding and hit head on pavement. -3rd TBI in November, 2014. Hit in the head at work with a dish rack with full strength by a large employee. CT scan normal. Diagnosed mTBI, PCS, PTSD, migraine with aura, and chronic depression. Symptoms have included: quite severe visual disorders, hearing loss in left ear, lethargy, brain fog, dizziness, disordered sleep, hallucinations and "exploding head syndrome", neck and shoulder pain, migraines, headaches, loss of emotions, all forms of cognitive deficiency, loss of reading/verbal ability, sound/light sensitivity, anxiety, panic attacks. Most notably are a general loss of identity and the disillusionment with the world accompanying trauma. But on the other hand, a new and heightened awareness of the nature of self, others, and of suffering itself. -As of December, 2015, am still experiencing visual disturbances, memory and speech problems, balance, sensitivity and overstimulation issues, along with the trickier to pinpoint cognitive changes, but feel that I am no longer clawing my way through a waking hell, so feel much better about being alive. Hallucinations and panic attacks are gone (thank God!), getting much better at reading and writing, and remembering/planning my daily tasks. Hopeful for further recovery, but thankful to be at least at 50%. |
