So sorry to hear anyone has to go thru this life changing event. How did you have your accident? My head has head 24/7 for well over a year and a half. I also discovered after the accident I now have a brain tumor sitting on an artery in the back of my head. They don't want to check it until December but I'm concerned because of new numbness issues. No matter how sleep, no matter flat, right side or left side I went from my hands going numb to my whole side going numb. Wondering if the tumor is getting larger. It's like when your foot falls asleep only one whole side of my body. I have had good luck for anxiety and being overwhelmed by taking good old fashioned Valium. I take 2 5mg pills a night before bed. No side effects at all and it just calms me so I can try to get some sleep. know it's not coming from my back because it goes away as soon as I get up and move around, although my head still kills me. My eye damage is worsening and they are not considering that as associated with the TBI.

You have to be your best advocate and tell the doctor you need another MRI done or else need to see a different neurologist when nerve pain like numbness in extremities begins to happen it is never good and run the risk of not reversing it !! Time to get a MRI done stat !
