Hi Steve,

Welcome. Plenty of people here will have experiences similar to yours so hopefully someone will reply to you shortly. Most of us have on going issues as a result of head injury so we will understand your symptoms. Things do seem to improve over time for most of us but it’s slow. Have you tried contacting your local Headway? Headway offers advice to brain injury survivors and in parts of the country there are Headway groups who meet regularly.

Good luck with your continued recovery

Hiya Steve.

Welcome to HealthUnlocked it is a great place to talk to other brain injury survivors.

A concrete block to the head sounds nasty, take all the help given to you as brain injuries are hidden. You’ll more than likely find somebody here with similar “affects” as yours and you’ll probably find similar traits. Stick around 😁
