I have had 5 of these "migraine episodes", and it takes me about 6 months to recover from each one. The first time it happened I thought the same thing--that it was worse than my initial concussion. Each one seems to crank the sensitivity up, which causes my balance and vision to be all out of sorts for a while while (long after the acute phase has ended) while my brain tries to adapt to the amplification of those sensory inputs. I've been told this is consistent with what others can experience with migraine. I don't know anything about the neck stuff. I've never had an issue with it, but I know others on this forum have, and they would be much more knowledgeable than me! |
You may not realize you have a neck issue. I call them subtle neck injuries. The only symptom is headaches. Imaging does not show any abnormality. They cause some muscles to spasm that lead to headaches. If you have a headache and the bony spot behind your ear is tender to the touch, you also have a neck muscle spasm. It can be the cause of your headache. Those 6 month headaches could be a 6 months before the neck stabilizes muscle spasm that triggers a headache.
When you have a headache, try icing your upper neck on and off for a few hours. I worked for me most of the time. It helps to get the ice started early, before things get bad. As Dr Marshall in the Concussion vs Whiplash YouTube explains; Whiplash can be triggered by very light forces. |
