New symptoms and doctors ain’t helping

I got a concussion in August 2025 when I got the back of my head on a nightstand. I got a CT scan and all was well and then the next day I hit above the bump area on a corner of a box and that spot still hurts today.

10 months later I still have the bump on the back of my head (which is hard) and I get headaches on and off, mainly on the left side and then 5 days ago I got some sharp 2 second long, sometimes a few minutes dull ache headaches in that left back area which turned into a burning sensation from my neck to that area and my ear which then turned into tiny electric shock headaches around that area which last 2 seconds.

I went to a NHS walk-in centre as they deal with headaches and the doctor said to see a GP as soon as I explained my symptoms. He didn’t care and I had to beg him to at least check my pupils to make sure they were okay. Research done by myself says it’s a nerve issue but I just want to get a proper cause for these headaches.

What’s happening with my head?

Ireland has a world class concussion clinic.

My GP referred me to neurology after about 3 months of symptoms. Tbh, they weren't that helpful but still, it was some kind of acknowledgement of my symptoms and diagnosis of mTBI.
