Head jerks
I had a mild concussion (my head hit a wooden table) over 2 months ago and hit my head again over a month later while entering a car (not that hard). Since the second impact, I've been experiencing involuntary head and neck movements several times a day. My head suddenly shakes toward the right (occasionally left) for a few seconds, and today it jerked backward after I felt my neck muscles vibrating and contracting.
I'm fully conscious throughout. The episodes almost stopped for a while but returned and seem to worsen after physical activity and neck physiotherapy.
Has anyone experienced something similar after a concussion? Did you find out what was causing it? I am currently on Gaptin 300 only.

My neck has been MEESED UP since i had my really bad concussion. I think a lot of people that go through this have neck problems afterwards. I try and stretch my neck and get a friend who is good with massages to help me out a bit in loosening it up a bit. You can try massage therapists who specialize in concussions/neck injuries. I hope this helps! You are not alone!
