Brain Swelling?

I show all but one sign of having brain swelling. I have: Headache; Neck pain or stiffness; Nausea or vomiting; Dizziness; Irregular breathing; Vision loss or changes; Memory loss; Inability to walk; Difficulty speaking; Stupor; Loss of consciousness. The only one I dont have is seizures and I hope I never do. This pain has been constant since I was 11 years old. I was hit by a car and got a concussion, broke my collar bone and bad road-rash. I'm finally getting to the point where my body is fighting off pain almost everywhere that I'm becoming concerned that this is hurting me badly. I know I would need to go for a CT scan of my skull to see what is up. Should I bring this up to my Family MD when I see her in 6 days?

Well I was also speaking with a friend and there was another MVA when I was almost 19 years old. I was the passenger of a car going about 80 kmph and the driver attempted to drift the car and hit a cement light post. I cannot remember most of what went on that day.

  Hi.,,.,yes- Always tell ur Dr about ALL symptoms u r having ....it is possible that u have something going on related to the injuries from the accident or something new developed, but from the way u describe it, sounds more like ongoing from the MVA.

Talk to ur Dr and let us know what u find out.
Good luck
