How To Persistent Pain And Pressure In Head After A Head Injury?
Hi I m a 45-year-old woman and last month and a half I experienced a very bad fall. The fog was so bad I fell on my back and then on my side and I hit my head on the floor so strong that I split my ear and I needed 15 stitches in my head. For the first few days I felt A mild headache but by the end of the week my head was in excruciating pain and I m bearable. I went for a CT scan and no bleeding but the pressure and the pain you re still as of today unbearable. My doctor says to take add Ville Tylenol I took Percocet oxycodone morphine name the mall and they don t work. I feel like I have a major sinus infection but all grain. I have been literally in bed in darkness and in pain since December 5. My doctor just tells me to take pain medication and it will go away. I have been seeing a concussion specialist doing acupuncture and soft tissue therapy and not better, please thank you my name is Chantel and some soft tissue therapy. But I find it s not progressing. I m in a lot of pain and losing a lot of hope and I am really tired of the pain. Do you have any suggestions because I am truly very getting tired. My mom had to stay full-time with my three children for a month as I can take care of myself
As per my surgical experience, there are many instances of head injury during which initial scan is normal absolutely and patient gets recurrent symptoms over a long period of time. The reason behind this is too early scanning, late development of detectable lesions of brain or else. I would request to get a latest CT scan without contrast for best evaluation of current situation and share the same with your doctor soon.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
