Suggest Treatment For Pain And Concussion Post Back Injury

Hello. Several years ago, while rafting in a stream, I hit the back of my skull pretty hard on a large rock. I m quite sure that I had a concussion and was in pretty, bad shape for the rest of the day. Now, four or five years ago, from time to time, it causes me a fair amount of pain. Tonight, it hurts to the touch. Any idea what I might be dealing with and how concerned about this I should be? Thanks In Advance, Andrew Gray

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.Your head trauma few years back may be the cause of your post-traumatic headache.Post-traumatic headache is an entity which results from the chronic long term sequelae in brain parenchyma due to head injury.Post traumatic headache may be severe at times.Next step for you should be to visit a neurologist and he will probably get a brain imaging done,either computerised tomographic (CT)scan or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scan to see if any pathology lies in .I hope it helped.
