What Does The MRI Report Indicate?

4 days ago, I was hit in the head at school (8th grade) by a kid with a laptop. I immediately was thrown to the ground (as well as my glasses) and the nurse gave me ibuprofen but didn t say anything about it could be a concussion. I haven t really had any other symptoms except a almost unnoticeable headache when i do stuff like walking or watching TV. But I have hit my head really hard 2 other times, one I wasn t paying attention and hit a pole. The other was at a pep rally, I was kind of running up the steps to my seat and hit a really low basketball goal, and had a severe headache for the rest of the day. I never went to a doctor for these because my parents kept saying its okay and if i persisted in asking to go to a doctor, they would get angry. I have something called visual snow syndrome, which basically I see static, floaters, slight double vision on words and lights, starbursts. I also feel/hear a crackiling in my head, like a joint popping when I turn my head sometimes. I have a neurology appointment scheduled in about 3 weeks for a MRI scan, but I m scared if I have serious problems they will just get worse. I ve even got suicidal over this, and my parents say I m obsessing if I bring it up. I just don t see how 3 blows to the head within 7 months is healthy.

Hi,

As per the history given by you, you have sustained injury over your head multiple times and have few symptoms which should not be ignored. Please don't worry about it and let the MRI report come out. The problems you are facing are curable and even if MRI report suggests some kind of concussion, there is nothing to worry much as its treatable. I would advise you to get a review done by an ophthalmologist also for the floaters and double vision.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
