Cannot seem to recover from my concussion?

Question

5 months ago i twisted my neck by turning my head 180degrees, i got a burning sensation at the back of my head which caused my vision to be a bit impaired. After about 1 hour i was back to normal. Exactly one week after i again twisted my neck looking from the left to the right really fast. i twisted my neck again, this time i heard something torn in my neck. I developed lots of neck pain follow by the back of my head swollen. I recovered from my neck pains after 3 months, but i am experience a foggy head symptoms all day with concentration problem and sensitive to light and sound. When i am laying down everything feels fine when i am standing and moving about i feel all fogged up and disoriented. It has been five months and i cannot seem to regain my self. I was doing a lot of research online, the only thing i came up with is that probabl i have a severe brain concussion. Has any one have any idea to what is happening.
Thank you

Ok, so you've had a MRI and a carotid doppler....What's next?
Have you been to a neurologist yet? Don't let them off of the hook so easily.....You've had some good tests but not the right one yet. Obviously you've some type of deficit. Don't let them make you feel that because they can't find out what it is, that you are imagining things. I'm a nurse and I can tell you for sure that in medicine, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Your question should be, Ok, what's next?

Look at this link. Maybe it will give you some new ideas.
If your doctor doesn't want to go any further with this, request a copy of your entire medical record. I know how frustrating this is for you, but don't give up.

Unless you've seen a neurologist, you haven't seen the right type of doctor. If you have seen one, get a second opinion - you're entitled to it.

You do need to be diagnosed by a neurologist. If this was a concussion (I doubt it), it can take a long, long time to recover. Some people never do completely recover.

But from your description of how you injured your neck, I doubt that this was a concussion. It does, however, sound as though you have sustained some type of damage either to a nerve or to some part of your spinal cord covering. Again, though, this is something that requires a doctor.

Answer 3

You need to have an MRI. What does your doctor say? Please tell me with something that serious, you are not relying on medical advice from strangers online? You must see a doctor.
