Hello,

As you mentioned in history about the fall, did you vomit after the fall or fell unconscious? this is very important if there is any injury to the Higher functions of the brain. If you didn't vomit or fell unconscious then it is nothing major about the central nervous system.

You even mentioned about Scans and x-rays. you mean to say you took a scan of brain and x-ray of the neck? is that so?

If you have taken a scan of the neck than it will spread some light over the complaints you are providing.

Why don't you meet up a neurologist for these symptoms for a physical examination? I would have recommended the orthopedist for this but since you said there is slight pain behind the eye I thought better to meet the neurologist.

You should now differentiate that there is a pain in the neck or there is a headache?

If you can differentiate this we can guide you better. Let's assume you have neck pain - in this case, we can suspect some injury to the cervical spine which needs an MRI to be performed. Post which the treatment will be planned accordingly in a combination of medicine and physical therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
