I would like to ask others who have a had a concussion, I fell on the left side of my face, head. I had a brain bleed was sent to a Trauma Hospital, that hospital took another CT scan, bleed was gone and they only kept for only few hours and released me.!!! That was on Nov. 22, 23! Now I forgot what year it is! I'm dizzy, left side of nose by the bridge is still swollen, pain there, Another CT scan showed nothing?? Memory is bad, loose everything! I'm not me, I feel different? Lots of pressure around left cheek??? Does anyone have experience with this. I'm lost. There is a concussion Clinic I've made an appt. end of July or do I see a Neurologist? I also have Small Fiber Neuropathy, Sojgren's Syndrome, I get IVIG Infusions. All this it getting to me!!!

You definitely should see a neurologist for a brain MRI, memory tests and to check cranial/trigeminal nerves (head/face). My son has had a couple concussions (8 and 9 years old) and he mainly needed to let his brain heal (concussions are like brain bruises). For your nose, you may also want to see an ENT to see if there is damage that needs to be treated.

Who diagnosed your small fiber neuropathy? Did you have a neurologist do a skin punch biopsy to confirm?

Hi @penn, I moved your question to the discussion you started in the Traumatic Brain Injury support group here:

I'm glad to hear that you have an upcoming appointment at a concussion clinic. That is a good place to start. Your evaluation will likely include a neurologist.
