I am being treated by work comp DR for head hit with ball at my school I work at. My speech was affected, not stuttering any more, but when the xanax they prescribed wears off,(.5 every 4 hours) I can tell my speech start to change. They they are not responsible for the speech. I have many other sumptoms, until; tehy found out it was from ball.Horrible headaches and neck pain, Short term memory loss, I walk funny, balance off, agitation from ANY emotion, cant cry, I cant stomach meat or wine like I used to, for get things when before I was sharp as a tack. Loma Linda diagnose Post concussive syndrome. I went to ER 3 days after hit with ball. Not hink ball, think stroke because of slurring and stuttering. Wouldnt that be a pysical symptom>> Dr tell me it is anxiety I felt from getting hit in the head with ball, but I say thats not true. My speech still affected since March 7th. I say it a physical symptom. What are your thoughts?
Hi, These symptoms can go with head injury you had earlier. Need to rule out seizure phenomenon in view of episodic, short term memory loss, headaches and neck pains, require EEG to rule out underlying seizure phenomenon. Repeat MRI brain with diffusion weight sequences to rule out fresh lesionsConsult neurologist/neurosurgeon for further plan of management
