What Treatment Is Suggested For Loss Of Memory?
HI there,
I was a pedestrian who was struck by a car in 2009 (3 years ago).
I was struck on my right side and landed primarily on my head and then on my coccyx. I have tons of trouble sitting and walking etc lower back but my question is about my head injury. It was split open but only took about 23 staples to close it up. However, I have noticed that since that accident I have a lot of trouble with memory loss (I don;t remember about 2 months of my life before the accident) and I have trouble remembering things (ie dates, numbers etc) and it is so frustrating. Also, when I press on my head (any area) it hurts. my whole head does. is this normal? It is particularly painful at the top of my head and it has been there for 3 years now. will this pain ever go away?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Sometime due to head injury, patients feel continuous pain and memory issues. Memory loss would take time to become normal and that localized pain may be due to underline hemotoma. Sometime, hemotoma get calcified due to calcium deposition and that may be reason in your case. You can conform by through CT scan. If CT scan comes normal, in that case, this pain may be psychological.
Thanks
