Can banging your head cause a relapse

Still trying to get my head (no pun intended) around the late diagnosis of TBI and am trying to get answers I banged my head whilst in the loft and basically was not my normal (if that's possible ) self

...well i'm no expert, but I'd definitely say YES! I've lost all the recovery I was making last year since I had my car accident in November and air-bag hit me in face/head! I was taken to hospital after the accident, no physical damage but I had a brace put round my neck - and despite telling the sapeur-pompiers (= to paramedics) and a nurse and doctor at the hospital about the previous BI, none of them took any notice at all - I just had a neck x-ray which showed an arthritic vertebrae - nothing else was done or said - was discharged and sent home in taxi. But confusion, wobblyness, memory, even head and ears feeling permanently blocked (but I've had tablets for that bit now) everything is worse and I'm not making progress. I do get some good days when I feel great, but as about to move, in-law family totally deserted me, now today too much stress.

But yes, I'm sure your bang could be responsible for how you feel, did you go to your doctor?

I didn't want to but I will go to GP"s at least they actually listen not like some medical centres

I had my original injury in the January and then fell down the stairs the following November my recovery took a huge step back after the tumble down the stairs.

not glad you fell but glad you put it here and made you step nack ty v

Its ok,

But what I find is even a light bump now e.g. forgetting to duck on a low beam takes ages to recover from. Whilst before that sort of thing would sting for may be an hour or so, now I feel very sick and dizzy for a few days.

[SAMBS in reply to sospan]

think we'd better all wrap ourselves up in cotton wool now 2nd or more less serous injuries are obviously having worse effects.

[Danslatete in reply to SAMBS]

Bubble wrap would be way cooler, and the popping would give u a clue we'd just gone int instead of through the door frame

[sospan in reply to Danslatete]

Sometimes going through doors or down corridors its like human pinball

[SAMBS]

its amazing how a 2nd injury, seemingly not as serious as original one, makes things even more worse more rapidly.
