Suggest Treatment For Sensivity To Sounds, Numb Face And Ringing In Ears

Brisk walking, yoga and light gyming give me confidence to go out and get used to the bumps and jolts. Anything that increases the blood flow to the brain reduces the symptoms I feel. Is it some kind of inflammation that's the culprit? Also I feel anti inflammatory foods like green tea, berries and turmeric maybe somewhat helping me. Please let me know if you think anything else or any therapies will help me
In continuation to the above) I had severe exhaustion and felt easily fatigued after slight activity after my accident for the first 6 months. After walking a mile, I brain would become very tired and with no energy left. I gradually because better and my brain regained stamina and tolerance as the months went by. After about 10 months after the hit, I developed random muscle twitching in my body while throughout the day and also jerks and twitches in body as soon as I fall asleep at night. But I manage to fall asleep after about 15 minutes
Gradual recovery would occur.

Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your details. It is unfortunate that your symptoms have been persisting for about 16 months. However, it is good to note that about 70% recovery has taken place. Another good news is that MRI of brain and spine are normal, which rules out any significant damage/injury to brain or cervical spinal cord.
Treatment is most non-medical, with good diet, regular exercises, and physiotherapy. You are already following most of these. Neck extension exercises and vestibular adaptation exercises are particularly useful. For tinnitus, tinnitus maskers (not easily available though) are quite helpful.
Shock like sensations may be minimised with medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.

Another thing that worries me is that is it OK if I encounter the bumps and shocks while travelling in a car or running/jumping while exercising? These bumps and jolts are impossible to totally avoid as you know given the terrible condition of roads. I seem to be OK though after passing over moderate bumps but huge bumps make me feel uncomfortable in head. I am concerned if these will give me another concussion as my brain is very sensitive. Should I be worried about these shocks ?
And what should I do about loss of cervical lordosis ? My neck muscles always feel tired and stiff.
It feels as if my neck is not able to absorb the shocks like it should and my brain slightly moved inside the skull when I come across a bump. Can it be a feeling of some nerve damage ?
Also one last thing, I have been taking B6 and B12 for almost a year now. Is it safe to continue with fishoil and vitamins for some more time ? Should I get a blood test done for B vitamins ?
You should not worry about the shocks.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
I agree, we can not totally avoid the shocks. However, there is no need to worry about them, as we do not expect any major nerve damage due to them. Other option is to use a cervical collar while traveling.
For neck problem, physiotherapy with IFT/ultrasound, and neck extension exercises would help.
Vitamin supplements can be continued.
Best wishes,
