Fell, Hurt Back Of Head. Unable To Walk. Having Memory Loss. Prescribed Valprol CR, Pacitane. Opinion?
my Mother 79 years old now had a fall in Sept 2011 when she had an injury at the backof the head and a clot developed. She wasin I.C.U for 5 weeks when she was in deep sleep almost like being in a coma . then she came out of this state to being a normal person again. BUT she couldnot walk. She has been under going physiotherapy for last 1 year with no positive results . over the last 6 months she has tremors in her hands and now for the past 3 months or so she has a memory loss for most part of the day everyday. she has been prescribed VALPROL CR 2 times per day & PACITANE 2 times a day. Is the treatment allright ? THANK YOU. Yasmin Ahmed.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on your information, it is obvious that your mother has suffered brain damage in September 2011. However, it is not clear what was the nature of brain damage. If you can upload a pdf copy of MRI or CT scan of brain report, it would be helpful.
Her inability to walk and imbalance could be related to the brain damage that she suffered earlier.
Whether her current medications are correct or not would depend on complete clinical information, such as whether she had fits, or does she have features of parkinsonism.
Best wishes,
