Memory Loss, Imbalance And Discomfort In Walking. Suffered Concussion Following A Wreck. Recovery Time?

Back at the end of may this yeaar I was involved in a wreck and suffered a concussuion. I was in the hospoital for a month when released I experience unstability, some memory loss loss of balanace, stumbling and uncomfortableness walking. Worrying that I wouldn't improve. I hav also had a difficult tie typing. I guess it is confussion. I was told that I will recover. DO you have any advice or thought ought of how long it could be before i recover even to close to my former self. Particularly my balance I love to walk and ride bicycles and and am concerned about that. Thank you. Sorry about the long email

Hi there the symptoms you are experience are very normal after a concussion, Being a Neurosurgery resident i have a number of cases like these but they resolve completely in 4-12 weeks depending on the size of your concussion.
Dont stress out by trying to overcome these symptoms. They will resolve over time.
But just in case i would advice an MRI brain just to be sure.
Take a good diet and take some multivitamins they will help reduce the recovery time
I hope that answers yous question
regards
