Headaches

[hiddencomic]

i had a concussion about two months ago and now I get headaches about every day.i need some help if there's anyway to stop the pain and I take headache medicine and most of the times it doesn't work.

First off let me say you should go see your family doctor who may refer you to a neurologist... There are a lot of reasons why you may have headaches and it may or may not be related to your concussion..

Aside from that - what are your headaches like? Meaning:

Where are they located (front? side? back? all over?)

What is the pain like? (Sharp? dull? pounding? constant? mild? severe?)

Are there other symptoms when you have the headache? (Smell things? Light flashes? Sensitivity to light? Nausea? Dizzy?)

How often do you get them and how long do they last?

What medicine are you taking and does it ever help?

Does anything you know of make them better or worse? (Lying down? Cold rag?)

When do you get them? (Morning? Evening?)

They will only get worse - it could be potentially harmful to your health. For better advice than anyone can give you here - go see a real doctor. The couple of dollars you spend there will be well worth it.

Potential for the headaches can be:

- Fractured bone that is out of normal location

- Pinched nerves

- Brain swelling

- collapses veins

- Brunt force trauma

The list only continues... For your safety and health, go see a doctor. The longer you wait, the worse this will become.

I went to the e.r.

Did they do a CT scan (Catscan) and also an xray?

With only an xray - you will have different results from a full-blown CT scan.

Xray = Bone fractures that are easily noted

CT scan = Almost everything about your head/neck ... it'll show a LOT

Yes

If they did both of those, I would do a follow-up with a family doctor. Mention the concussion and then the headaches. Inform the doctor of the period in which you have had them (days / weeks / months :: Followed by how many times a day).

He will be able to prescribe medicine to rectify the situation. Medicine only is good for so long - so I would recommend that you use it sparingly. If you take 2 IB Profein a day - by the time you are 30 years old, they will no longer be as effective.
