Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
In patient with concussion if CT is normal then MRI brain and spine should be done.
Swelling should resolve in 3 weeks ,so you need to investigate now after consultation with expert.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
