Head injuries and brain injuries are very common in auto accidents and are frequently undiagnosed. If you loss you consciousness or do not remember parts of the accident, you probably did hurt your brain.
These are called “closed head injuries.” Doctors frequently ignore them or miss-diagnose them. You need to be persistent in your complaints.
If you are sensitive to light, have lost part of memory of the events of the day, have a headache, feel pressure, have pressure in your eye or difficulty focusing, you have likely suffered a brain injury.
You need to go a neurologist or neuro-psychologist. You may want to go to a optometrist. And you should go back to the emergency room.
You can insist on an MRI or a CT scan. You may insist on having contrast used for the MRI or CT scan.
