Post Concussion Syndrome

[Lioness-11]

Hi all, interested in knowing if anyone has experienced head/brain injury resulting in concussion and any secondary symptoms which followed, in particular, pain.

There are many people who can have pain after a concussion. It depends on the nature of the forces you were subjected and the muscle response afterwards as well as any possible other injuries.

Can you be a bit more specific so people can relate to the issues.

Hi John, following my head injury I have suffered the following: fatigue, nausea, tingling, throbbing in my hands, toes, feet, legs, heart race, burning sensations. I then went on to develop pain in my lower back, hips, legs. I have also experienced pins and needles. The majority of symptoms have subsided apart from the sore heads, pain in the upper legs, lower back and sometimes pins and needles.

I had post concussion syndrome but mine related more to not being aware of the following days. I didn't realise I had it until a friend thanked me for a lovely day n I had no idea what she was talking about. Apparently we had done a local artist walk where local artists had exhibited work in local shops,cafes...the beach. I had no recollection of it. We'd spent the whole day together! The only after pain I had was from the lump on my head where a tree branch had fallen on it. Don't remember any pain....oh there's a thought maybe I had pain but forgotten it 🤕
