Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have recent recieved a lot of injuries due to a severe car accident that I was in including 2 fractures to my occiptal back part of my skull, 2 inch deep gash/cut behind my left ear that has been stitched up, gas under my chin that has also been stitched up, and my head was cracked open from the top of my forhead to the top of my head which i recieved 15 stapled for. My biggest concern is that pain that I get in the left back part of my head where the two fractures are which resul in major headaches that get worse as the day goes on as long with the constant pain in the back of the head where the fractures are from when I am moving or sitting up and even sometimes while laying down and that to gets worse as the day progresses. What is your recomendation?

hai,this is the worst sort of pain,what one can experience after a major head injury. most of the nerve endings of this areas have been either cut or destroyed,causing neuropraxic or neuralgic pain syndromes .you can go ahead for a coldlaser treatment,added with methylcobalamine (which helps in the regeneration of the nerveendings for some extent.paracetomol is very good centrally acting drug to relieve the pain. take care
