Hello all,
I had a head injury about 2 years ago and have had various problems since then. I hit my head on a cement potter (like the one's that are on the sidewalks that accomodate small tree). I was knocked out cold, taken in an ambulance and treated at the hospital. I had a laceration on the outer corner of my right eye and was given 7 stitches and discharged with no precautionary testing done.
No MRI's
No Catscan's
No Xray's
NOTHING BUT STITCHES!!
My question is does anyone think that I might be able to take the hospital up in court being that they didn't take at serious precautions to my injury except for a few stitches? As you can see below, maybe a CT Scan or an MRI might have eleviated some of my problems before they became escalated.
Symptoms since the injury:
Constant cracking Joints and Severe Muscle Weakness
Daily Headaches
Severe Fatigue
Dizziness, Lightheadedness and offbalance feeling most of the time. (like seeing bright stars)
Sensitivity to light
Increased floaters (many everyday and will not go away)
Depression
Anxiety
Ridged fingernails
Numbness and tingling in all extremeties
Frequent urination (like I have to go now)
Hair Loss from both scalp, eye lids and eyebrows with the slightest pull
Dark urine with foul odor
Raised red bumps on chest, shoulders and outer upper arms
Goosebumps all over when urinating or sitting down to releave myself.
Tests that I have had done thus far:
Blood Testing to include RA and TSH levels for Thyroid problem
MRI w/ contrast of brain
MRI of C-Spine and Lumbar(see page 3 of this post for a descriptive breakdown of the MRI results)
Hormone Blood Test(negative)
Urologist(ultrasound of abdomen area and urine culture which came back negative)
Hopefully someone can relate.
Thanks in advance,
Shaggs
