I have facial weakness due to an accident my neck, back, and head has been hurting for 30 days?

Question

I have been to Er doctor 3 times and they have diagonoised me with post-concussion, post-tramatic stress, and spinal injury. I have been having headaches, neck pain, and back problems that extend from lower back to my upper back. I am only 19 years old and these doctor seem like they dont know what they are doing. Can someone please help its been over 30 days of pain. I been going to chiropractor. I am a college student, I had to drop out this semester from college because of the accident. I been have memory loss, concentration problems and headaches.

Answer 1

Stop going to the chiropractor. Also, stop going to the ER. Most likely your problem is neurological. Make an appointment with a Neurologist. He will be able to run more tests and is much more knowledgeable in your problem than the ER doctor.

Answer 2

I absolutely agree with Puffy that no-one here can or should diagnose you without an examination. And don't do any heavy exercise until you've got it sorted out. However. I would include a McTimoney chiropracter in your list of people to consult. If the pain persists after you've had manipulation and muscle work, then see a craniosacral therapist or a cranial osteopath. I do know what I'm on about having had many years of back pain resolved by McTimoney and cranial work.

Answer 3

i would suggest going to a different doctor and getting a second opinion. in the meantime, try to go back to college if you feel able to but cut your classes a little. don't take such a heavy load, memory loss can sometimes be caused by traumatic stress.
hope you feel better!

Answer 4
