Default PCS and small bumps'jolts

Hi everyone,

I'm new to NeuroTalk, and I've had a somewhat weird journey through a concussion and PCS. I got my concussion back in May from a door, and I had pretty mild symptoms for about 3 weeks(even through taking finals for school), but they got suddenly worse while I was home and hanging out with my friends. Since then, I've been recovering slowly with help from various neurologists, but it's felt like a long and pretty frustrating journey.

Anyways, what I'm asking about is some sort of insight into perhaps the potential for small bumps and sudden movements of my head to possible worsen symptoms or cause any further issues. I tend to get freaked out everytime there's some sort of mild bump or jolt that involves my head, like, for example, waking up and slightly bumping my head on the bed or bringing my head up suddenly because I was startled by my alarm. Other examples include being in the car when it slows down suddenly, or tripping and catching myself, or quickly turning my head around, or really any mild bump to my head.

Mainly I'm kind of shaken since my symptoms already got worse mysteriously once, and I'm not sure what could cause further damage or worsened symptoms. Any insight would be appreciated.

Animaniac888,

The easiest way to look at bumps is quite simple. If these movements and bumps did not cause a concussion prior to your real concussion, they are not causing a concussion now. The anxiety of "Woe, Did that sudden braking cause a concussion or damage?" can trigger a memory of the symptoms of the previous concussion and PCS. Some look at this as a PTSD flashback response with the PTSD anxiety magnifying the memory of the concussion symptoms.

When you were home and hanging out with friends, did you engage in overly stimulating activities or other activities that you have not participated in during school ?

What are the various neuros doing for you ? Why do you see more than one ?

Thanks Mark, that was kind of the logic that I was using, just a little bit of paranoia I guess.

At home, I guess there were a few factors I guess, like different time zones and extra driving and maybe loud music and such. I thought I was fully recovered by the time I left school, but I guess not. The reason for multiple neurologists is a change of location, since my family just recently moved across the country.

Thanks for the response!
