Concussion - headaches 7 months later Posted: 11-21-07 13:19pm
7 months ago i was assaulted and suffered
a concussion and was unconcious for around
4/5minutes. I visited a&e and was let
home after being examined by a doctor. I
suffered all the common syptoms such as
sleepiness, headache, dizziness, vomiting
etc and was told that these will clear up
in most cases within a few days.
After, 3 weeks had passed, some of my
symptoms remained the same and the
headaches were worse than they had been at
first so i visited my G.P who prescribed
me painkillers and amitripylene that would
help with sleep in meantime until they
started helping with the pain aswell.
Now, 7 months on my headaches are so
severe its debilitating me! I'm off work
at the moment and have been for almost 2
months. Im never away from the doctors and
they keep giving me stronger and stronger
doses of all these things and not much is
helping. I'm due for a CT scan next week.
The headaches are always there but when
the get really bad i'm crying with them,
it feels like my head is going to explode
as its that tight..its mostly the top of
my head that gets the worst.
Has anybody else been in this situation or
know anybody who has. What could be wrong
with me? Maybe it isn't related to th
concussion i don't know.
I'm desperate for help, i'm very
frightened now!
Thanks for reading, any comments at all
are welcome.
