The information in this link may help members who are considering paying a clinic for stem cell therapy of TBI or any other health problem Nine Things to Know About Stem Cell Treatments .

Is this is a legit syndrome that someone at Mayo Clinic would be able to diagnose or is this a chiropractic thing?

Unfortunately, I think almost all studies for TBI therapies like HBOT are going to be somewhat inconclusive due to the uniqueness of each brain injury. I listened to podcast on dr. Harch and he mentioned that the military studies on hbot were flawed.

I almost got in to dr. Harch study but was denied due to medical marijuana. I asked the assistant if she could tell me if results were positive and she said research was positive.

I'm going to Mayo Clinic next week. I definitely have neck issues and when I pinch my neck muscles, the pain refers to my head where I experience tension headaches. I see a acupuncturist/trigger point massage guy and he does needles with electric current to try to loosen them. I also did trigger point injections but those didn't work.

If Mayo can't help, I'm going to try some experimental routes. **

From my understanding of stem cell treatment outside of clinical trials, it's a very shady business and often you aren't even getting active stem cells. I'm glad you found relief though. That's wonderful.

Vania,

Feel free to start a thread. I've started them just to tell an amusing TBI anecdote. Try to avoid starting a new thread for every study.

TiT,

Upper neck injuries are what I call subtle neck injuries because they are very difficult to diagnose with normal means. My position is to treat the neck as if it is injured by being disciplined with good sleep posture. A chiro or good upper cervical PT can help but personal behaviors are most important.

Just as many PCS issues, we need to self-treat and not expect a doctor to have a magic bullet.

Is it possible that neck injury is the cause for my severe headache, dizziness and nausea?

Months ago I couldn't bend my neck without worsening my headache,
I felt like the blood flow to my head is badly restricted.

My injury likely strained my C1 C2 joints as you suggested, and now I'm thinking about HBOT therapy, maybe it could improve my condition.

My pain is localized mostly behind my eyes, along with tension headache so I was wondering whether it could be occipital neuralgia, or is that the same as cervical injury?
No back head pain though.

HBOT will not help a neck issue.

What do you do to take care of your neck?

Head aches can take months to resolve. Some are neck related. Others are related to vascular control of blood flow in the head. I take aspirin or aspirin/acetaminophen to treat my head aches.

Interesting thread. I still remember that morning exactly a week after my concussion waking up with tinnitus and nausea ...and the nape of my neck sore. More recently I was trying to figure out what had caused a recent relapse and it coincided with slouching on the sofa with my neck bent, when I got up I felt a sudden fatigue and nausea come over me. Over the next few days my neck felt uncomfortable and warm.
