I had a severe brain injury last Oct. Three skull fractures, two brain bleeds, one internal, one external. Along with other leftover symptoms I have severe pain in the upper left quadrant of the brain, upon bending,coughing, even moving at times. In the last few days, it has been terribly often. It s not like a headache, Just severe short-termed pain. Also, this area of the brain is where the brain damage is. My Internist said I should go back on the Gabapentin. It seemed to help before. I hope it does now. Is gabentin just for pain or, hopefully, to calm this issue down?
