Hello
Retrograde amnesia-not remembering the incident--is one sign of a concussion syndrome but if your memory problem is getting worse this many years out it isn't likely just from the concussion and could be medical like low thyroid or depression.
You do need to talk to your GP about this and get appropriate testing at this point
