Omg someone that feels my pain! Except for I have had at least 8 or more significant concussions since I was 10 years old (1973- car accident before seat belts were not legalized) and the worst one happened when I was 16 ( when some friends of mine were gouging around on a old farm when we came across some old chicken coups that were no longer in use and for some unknown reason we started climbing on the coups and found a bunch of chicken wires on the coup and noticed two electrical wires that were low hanging connected to a transformer the was also low hanging which you could almost touch with a baseball bat and then some of us started throwing the chicken wires up at the wires and before to long one of the chicken wires made contact with boy electrical wires and blew the transformer-I was less the 10 feet from it when it blew and needed help getting home from a friend of mine because I kept passing out. I was unconscious/ coma for 3 days and my parents couldn’t wake me up for 3 days and had to request our local doctor to come and see me at home!
A few years ago I now believe I experience a Concussion Blast Injury and have suffered the consequences of it since it happened. I am now 62 and life has been difficult suffering from difficulty learning and I have had approximately 20 jobs.
I have seeked medical attention for so many years but no one has treated me with the medical attention I need- I really do feel your pain with getting treatment for it

I know how difficult it must be for you and I hope you someday you find some relief

to be honest tests do probably need to be run. the second opinion always helps most times. get a bike helmet, get use to wearing it until your brain can heal up some, I'm no doctor but have had many head injuries. years with migraines because of them. the brain given the chance will heal it takes a very long time, i am not talking just a couple months either. try a year maybe more depending on the damage. i have on now looks like half an egg but is keeping me from damage. get looked at seriously that many hits can be daunting but they have great doctors at mayo clinics. have a blessed day and ill send a prayer for you too ========== sent.
