Do you have children playing football, basketball, soccer or lacrosse? If you do, are they getting neck strengthening exercises?

Such valuable information. Thank you!

Any suggestions for me I’ve had Post Concussion Syndrome for 13 years

THANK YOU!! I wish you were my doctor seven years ago when I was hit in a car accident. Sent back to work wrangling packs of dogs, seven years of daily flare ups caused by getting banged around by dogs every day, and now permanently disabled. Gotta heal, can’t survive on disability. I’ll look you up! 😀🐶

This is so helpful thank you very much

Have you ever treated pcs patients with eds

Are you going to post more videos? I'd like to know what are the good things to do to help heal as well as the "Don't do list". Thanks!!

Okay... So how about when a neurophycologist says it takes at most 2 years to heal.. and the discredits all of this being a load of a crap and that there's no such thing as post concussion syndromes... This guy did very intensive testing for two days and said all the other testing I did and all the diagnosis of a visual disorder and atanomic disorder that a athletic therapist who specializes in concussion rehab. The neurophyc says it's a bull... Which has me conflicted since his a 40 year old veteran of the brain and the new therapists with all these new studies and therapies get thrown out... I don't know what to do and it's 6 years of hell with 2 of proper care since doctors never took my concussion seriously..

Thank you, watched all your videos. You helped me understand so much more. You broke your videos down brilliantly and the way you presented them was easy watching 👍🏽

Hmmm I hope am good, got mild I think maybe coz of playing soccer.

Yes- this video is accurate. Problem - the damaged area does not show up anywhere- How do we cure this! It has ruined my life!!!

Im 4 months in after I crack my head in two spots I don't feel same and I cant sleep or focus on my task ,weed helps just to live and continue .

I have Post Concussion Syndrome 12 years later

Hoping you plan on picking up where you left off soon, this is a subject that so many people don’t understand. As a football coach in Canada, the protocol here, is that all coaches need to follow a safe contact course, which touches a great deal on concussions. While concussions as an injury is treatable, given that the patient gets the right amount of physical and cognitive rest that their brain needs to heal properly, the biggest issue is the people who try to rush back to their normal routine, or sports. So many kids try to hide symptoms so they can get back to practice, or parents are pushing them to return before they’re ready. As you mentioned, this is where the biggest issues can occur, as it can cause the patient to develop post concussion syndrome with long term effects. I’ve enjoyed the videos, and sent a few parents to view them, so I’m really hoping you continue you series, and help educate people in how to recognize and treat concussions.

My concussion occurred july 16..still suffering. I also messed up 2 disks in my back. Going to physical therapy 2x a week and now occupational therapy. Im suffering so bad im not normal anymore.

Help I live in northern N.J. and I have been diagnosed with PCS,PBS,and PSTD. I’m looking for a PCS expert.

3 years and still got it 🤔.

Hello Doc Could i suffer from this even years after an inccident? About 8 years ago i hit the back of my head very hard on pair of pool stepps in shallow water. While i do not have major problems right now( or maybe i simply got used to it?) i can say that i do have all the symptoms, that you named in this video, except for maybe the metabolic problems since i do not believe that i am qualified to diagnose these.

What kind of dr can I go see to get checked for this problem besides my general dr

Please tell me what kind of doctor knows a about these things?

Hit my head when I was drinking. Thought I was still hungover a week later but thinking maybe its the hit to the head instead. Forehead is very sore and I'm nauseous. Good thing I have a nuerologist appointment monday 🤔

How to recover from this?

Ive been having head pressure for over a year now and its leading me to suicide. I had a cat scan and seen neurologists but they cant find the problem

I have been dealing with this for almost 4 years now and I can't get help, nothing has gotten better and I keep getting passed off because I don't look "disabled". I lost my job, I can't pay for my college courses, I am literally confined to my house, specifically my room due to the severe sensitivity to light/noise/ a constant migraine. I am in pain 24/7, the migraine never goes away, its at a constant 6/7 now that spikes throughout the day to 9/13 or 10/20 at worst to the point I want to die. My Symptoms: When it happened; No loss of consciousness but I almost did, I was in a state of being dazed, confused/ disoriented/ sleepy. Migraine - pain lvl 6/7 constantly Sometimes Nausea Fatigue/ drowsiness/ Foggy Problems with speech/ Slurred speech Insomnia to Sleeping more than usual; maybe 1 to 3 hours of sleep a day for months Dizziness, loss of balance & coordination Blurred vision/ Pupils dilate, ringing in the ears, changes in the ability to smell EXTREME Sensitivity to Light/ Sound/ Temperature Memory loss & concentration problems/ Extremely overwhelmed & confused or lost if I am startled or don't understand Mood swings/ depressed/ anxious/ Agitation/ unusual behavior/ Angry for no reason Can't bend over or exercise/exert my self without exasperating it. And those are just some of what I deal with every single day. It gets worse when I try to fight against it to do anything, like riding in a car or watching TV.

I will research you more. I am one year and eight months out and I am not getting better

Ten for ten

One year and eight months later.....I have eight for eight

Yup I have all of it

Thank you so much! I'm pretty certain I have post concussion syndrome -- should I be avoiding certain activities that I was avoiding early on in my injury, such as looking at screens?

It's been 9 months since i have post conccussive syndrome and I still suffering with head pressure light and noise sensativity i haven't feel myself since then...i have depression anxiethy ,insomnia and irritability I don't know if this will go away some day

Sorry to comment so much but this is all the time for me, when I look at anything it seems like it's a bit off, not quite as clear or still as it should be or as it really is. Anything, this computer screen, a tree, persons I pass by, everything I look at. Inside my brain feels like something is trying to turn or even turning or spinning.

I think I have almost all or maybe even all these conditions, or problems, he mentioned. I'm 60 years old, very depressed (have been for years), have no social life and can do very little every day. I try to get out and walk but it isn't easy. It's very scary crossing the streets when these inconsiderate drivers just want to make their turn; I feel as though they will run me over.

My symptoms are.......migraine disorder, headaches, loss of balance, studdering spells, vision loss, very sensitive hearing, increased anxiety, anger, and frustration. Mental slowness. The hits to my head have caused c1-c4 to buldge and a chunk of bone is missing from my c4. I am in constant pain and cannot work. I get 12 shots every three weeks in my head and neck to control pain. I have memory blackouts and debilitating dizziness. The hits to my head have caused blindness on the right side of my right eye. The muscles were also hurt I cannot purposefully move my right eye right. It turns when following objects and I turn my head but I cannot will my eye to move. Most days I am feel really sick and can't do much. Today I could barley keep my balance. Ya....MY LIFE SUCKS. I use to love reading now I can barely track well enough to read. I use to love hanging with friends but now I cannot. At 33 years of age I cannot be myself outside.....I am watched closely. Did I say my life sucks? I will say it again MY FUCKING LIFE SUCKS.

I've been suffering from post concussion syndrome for over a year now. The worst and most present symptom is eye pressure and almost a feeling of them being overwhelmed when there's a lot of movement going on. This causes me to get dizzy and have migraines. What part of my brain could be causing this and what would help?

I have had symptoms for post concussion syndrome for a year and a little bit longer from when my two concussions occurred. Is this normal? If not normal, is it at least like possible? Part of me is afraid that I don’t really have it and I just have things wrong with me that I need to fix if that makes any sense.

Hi, my dad fell a while back and hit his head on concrete. He has lost all sense of smell and taste and is very depressed. This is month 10. He sees a doctor and says he will be okay and it will come back eventually. I need your opinion. Anything I can tell him to cheer him up. He always tells me he hates life and he might kill himself if he never gets it back.

Thank you, very informative. Has been very helpful presently as I am In my 50's, have had more than 25 concussions starting from my 1st at a couple of months old, next at 5 and then the rest from 9 years old, to my most recent, 2 years ago. What or How does volume of , or concussion on top of an exhisting concussion ? Or 3 Concussions in one day(maybe one and re-concussed twice that day. )

Good info

Hi doctor...i was involved in a minor car accident a month ago..had a CT SCAN done and neurologist said I was okay...but i still have most of the symptoms you mentioned...what can I do about it?

So what if I’m still having symptoms 19 years after and no one has ever Diagnosed me with anything. Now my eyes are getting bad and I fall sleep at the wheel if I don’t wear super dark glasses and a huge sun hat. I think I maybe finally on the right path and I have an appointment tomorrow too have my eyes checked and on August 2nd I have a sleep study. So hopefully I can have some of my symptoms fixed. It sure would be nice to sleep. I have had insomnia since I was about 8 years old. So if you have any advice I would really appreciate it.

Thank You Dr. Clark . This is very informative. It gives me peace of mind that I'm not losing my mind. This has been a long road of recovery and understanding.

had three different injury 1st got hit by truck landed on head 2nd heat stroke 3rd fall down damage spine .. You think I'm between mild and serve

Thank you for talking about a subject matter that is literally just now coming into the light. I have a friend who is going through this stuff and it's hard to watch her try and recover and this 'series' about PCS has been MAJOR helpful in sending to my own friends to educate about it. Awesome!

Hi doctor, My younger sister had an injury and have some of the symptoms can you help.?

Is this permanent or not? My concussion kinda ruined my life. Aside from all the physical symptoms it's literally like I'm a whole different person. And I'm in a whole new dimension of the world like I'm in 3rd person disconnected from the world. Idk bro... Is there any cure or will I live like this forever? EDIT: I know you're trying to make $ n stuff but be honest with me. Don't try to sell me something for your own interest cuz I'll be able to sense it like a rat.

Thanks, Doc, keep up the good work. These videos are perfect for post concussion patients who can't handle very much stimuli. Reading text online or from a book is something I personally can't do much of anymore so these videos are a blessing. Thanks again

Hi doc I have post concussion syndrome by getting hit by car crossing the street its going on almost 2 years since the injury n I still have symptoms daily n I’m miserable daily headaches dizziness
