Get Convulsions Surging Through Head Since Episode Of Injury, Growth Seems To Be Retarded. Reason?

Respected doctor,
i am an 18 year old male. About two years ago I hurt my head pretty bad. Even today my head hurts and I can feel convolutions surging through the part of head that was hurt. Before that incident I was growing at the rate of an inch every year,, i stopped growing after the incident,. ps. my hands are pretty long compared to the rest of my body parts and people complain about that. Why do i have such strangely long arms.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is possible that you have post-traumatic headaches or a migraine equivalent. You would benefit from preventive medications such as topiramate, beta blockers, etc.
Unusually long arms can be seen in Marfan's syndrome. Please see a doctor to confirm the same.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
