Okay I think I got a concussion in my recent crash, and the symptoms are getting worse Luckily...

I hope it goes away soon but I'm really glad you're on top of it. Losing part of your memory must have been really scary. :(

it can take a long time for this to heal.

If there's no sign of damage on ct scan then what you're experiencing is probably delayed shock.

It's a combination of physical shock; emotional upset and survivor guilt which your mind and psyche are trying to process and recover from.

It's very common

Even if you've got a concussion all they're going to do is tell you to get rest and recover there's no medical shot there's no medicine you might have a slight headache and treat it with Tylenol. You should be good to go within a few days to at the most 2 weeks.

The CT scan should have shown swelling in the brain if you have a concussion. Chances are you're just knocked up bruised internally and sore. Laughs as in memory are common because your body's thinking about the pain you were in.

I've been in a couple crashes, neither as bad as yours, and yes, I've experienced pain and discomfort and fogginess weeks after the crash. For me it went away though after maybe a week after onset.

My mom had similar issues after her accident as well. They could last a few weeks to a few months.

Stay off of screens and use sunglasses if you need it (even indoors)

Definitely check with a neurologist tho

They were looking for a brain bleed on the ct scan. Still can have an injury.

Ngl... This almost sounds like you are getting ready to file an insurance claim.

Is it any better now?

It's normal for concussions to have effects for at least a couple weeks, worse at the beginning. I had patches of missing time and conversations following the days after mine.

If it was recent then definitely get a scan but have patience with yourself

Reading your later posts about the accident, it seems you came out okay. You're lucky. Things could have been much worse.
