Why Does Everything Hurt So Much After Brain Injury?

this makes sense,no other diagnosis,except chronic pain,i dont need a psychologist,i needed a diagnosis ,that was ignored when mentioning injury and left hip out of joint ,had chiropractor fix it,they said i was going to die, let me hop home,i almost did,who can i see about this in twin falls ,id

I suffered a severe trumatic brain injury following a fall down stairs which we believe was caused by delayed concussion from a boxing match the previous week, my medical team have been chopping and changing my medication to balance my brain in terms of anger issues, change of personality and just recently severe joint pain, my STBI was almost 4 years ago and every day is a struggle.

I had a TBI among other things from a snowboarding accident in 2015. I have residual right sided weakness, spasticity and throbbing, burning “neuro pain”. Hurts all the time except when I’m sleeping. Working in healthcare/neuro ICU I don’t think there’s anything to relieve it. My Docs are not able to resolve it. The only consolation I’ve found is reading about others experiences with this. I’m not alone

I had a severe TBI 12 yrs ago. Was in a coma for months. I remember shortly after telling my neurologist I hurt all over she told me. To get a new bed.
The pain never went away. I told my primary careDr. She said it’s because I’m getting old I was 37 at the time. I eat healthy exercise the best I can I look great. But I spend ever waking hour in pain
One Dr put me on Antidepressants. Yes I’m depressed because no one is listening. The antidepressant did nothing but make me sleepy. Have no motivation.

I suffered a severe TBI in 2010. I was in a car pileup. I asked my Dr. at Barrows in PHX what was wrong a year later. Dr Kelley told me to change my mattress.
I asked my Primary Care Dr. she told me I’m just getting old 40? Old. I eat healthy exercise daily. So they DX me on my physical appearance.
I cry almost everyday because it hurts so bad. I live alone. I’m disgusted by the medical community. Who judge patients by their Physical Appearance. Not the symptoms.

I suffered a TBI from a random fainting spell and fell back onto concrete which fractured my skull, caused a subdural hematoma and contusions. This happened 3 months ago. Cognitively I feel like I’ve improved greatly and my neuropsych feedback was all positive. I am still having to remain on fluid restriction of 1.5 liter a day and 2 g of sodium chloride but even with that I have persistent sodium issues which has been diagnosed as SAIDH and has led to 2 more hospitalizations since the accident for hyponatremia. I suffer from limb weakness, dizziness, fatigue and chest pain. The doctors are saying it will go away in time but it seems to feel worse lately. Is there something else that should be tested for and will my sodium levels ever stabilize on their own.

Hi couple months ago i had urine infection and 1 month after that are girl punch me in the middle of my forehead over jelesey because she like this guy so guy slept with me and month after that i got invited to house party and i didn't no she will be there. And i was drinking wine at the time and i had smoke it was strong and i felt realy i didn't no what i was doing and had couple more glass wine white and i put the bottle in fridge outside and i sat in side on the lounge and my head got zapping pains badly and electricity shocks badly and pain in my belly very bad so I had to drink 4 litres of bottles of water to get read of pain so I had go to hospital and they said to me we will do urine sample and they said that all you got and didn't do any blood test or nothing. And I said there is something wrong here and they said to me go home.

Hi, in February of 2007 I suffered a TBI with brain stem involvement at 21 years old and spent 2 weeks in a coma. Several years of Congnitive, Physical, Vestibular, etc therapies and I was doing much better.
Over the last few years I've been having pain in limbs and loss of strength and my PT believes it is due to nerve damage.
After some research I'm showing that symptoms of MS are pretty much line for line with TBI symptoms.
My question is will nerve damage begin to show 10 years after the TBI or is this likely due to some other underlying illness?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’ve only had one honest doctor. Right before my brain aneurysm blew, I asked my primary care doctor why am I having all this pain in my head. He said I’ve done everything your disability healthcare will let me. Then it blew. I’m still here!!!

Hi all, my first TBI I suffered around 17 yrs. Ago after being run over while skiing "the wall" in California by another skier. Prior to that, I was very athletic as well as active.
Along with it came grand mal seizures, and a laundry list of other ailments.
I am having a big problem that began a few years ago when I had almost a year where my seizures were out of control causing, you guessed it, more brain injures and more injures in general. Included was a broken neck to 3rd and 4th degree burns over a good part of my body and around 8 month's in the hospital and rehab hospital.
My foot, legs, back, head and neck are fairly messed up and the pain is unbearable much of the time rendering me an in pain - unable to function - couch potato with a lot of clothes that need washing in addition to other thing's.
My main problem here and trying to find an answer to is why, after being taken to the local (and really bad) ER room due to my seizures, was I diagnosed with overdosing? This has happened 3 time's. 2 times, in the last month and a half and once 2 yrs. Ago. The crazy thing about this is that the first time it happened, I was being given a particular medication by an RN every day. I didn't even own any or have any in my possession. During that time too, my seizures were out of control and I couldn't hold anything for long without it flying out of my hands up to 20 ft. Away. What I'm trying to say is for a good week before this happened to me 2 yrs. Ago, I never even got all the medication in my mouth the RN handed me to take this not getting the full doses! Yet during this time I experienced my usual grand mal seizures, was taken to the local (very bad) hospital and diagnosed as having overdosed on the medication I was being given by the nurse - as she had for the 2 previous year's. My caregiver, friend's, the nurse and myself haven't been able to figure this out. Which brings me to the past 2 month's in which it happened twice only I was diagnosed with over dosing on different, but prescribed medications. One of the two times happened 2 day's before my refills were due and didn't have enough medication to overdose on! I should add too that When I broke my neck, I also ended up with a pace maker because my heart would stop every so often and I haven't had it checked since it was put in. (Yes, I do have an appt. Coming up hahaha) I got so tired of doctor's, I kind of took a little vacation from them. I can't remember if I had it when the first overdose was diagnosed. I may have. I didn't have anything in my system I wasn't supposed to have at any time and these happened after I had a grand mal seizure every time. My problem now Is that these overdosing diagnosis are in my records in the national records databases. No doctor can treat me for my pain management. My recent doctor told me he'd be happy to see me again AFTER I fix my record's. So, that is a huge problem for many reasons in addition to it'd probably behoove me to find out why this is happening to me. I'm not nor have entertained the idea of overdosing and dying but have come real close because of whatever it is that's causing my respiratory system to shut down. I don't know why the hospital diagnosed me as an overdose just because their tox screen showed certain medications or, IF (and, I don't know this to be true or not) the screening showed the levels of the medications, how come they would have read higher than they were? I took these medications with the same doses and exactly the prescribed way for year's. How do I find out what's causing this, what kind of doctor can help me or, will know why this happens, how do I prevent it from happening again, how do I "FIX" my medical record's, how can I get a doctor to treat me now for my pain management.... I'm lost, I'm in pain and don't know what to do. I'd even be willing to take a polygraph test to prove I didn't cause my "overdosing" 3 time's. Does anyone have any idea's at all ?? I will be eternally grateful for any advice or help!! God Bless and try to enjoy every minute of every day!! Thank you! Shari G.
