[|Human|] I am a 26 yr old female. I have been having a lot of neurological symptoms for a long time but about a year ago I had a really bad accident (fell and broke 5 bones in right lower extremity with 2 plates 10 screws placed) I m concerned because even though I did have a lot of the symptoms prior to my fall, some are new and I also don t want to keep going back to the doctor over and over. I also have PCOS whicChatDoctorplicates everything in my life. The symptoms I m having are generalized clumsiness, which I never was until about a year ago, I drop things, trip, lose my grip etc, something new that started about a month ago is some urinary incontinence. I have to wear a pad because I don t even feel it happen and it s horribly embarrassing. I have pain all the time because of my leg injury but also that seemed to just set off a chain reaction and my whole body just aches and feels terrible. I have a lot of problems with constipation. I m fatigued all the time. it doesn t matter how much or how little sleep I get, I feel like I haven t slept at all. I tend to sleep 8-9 hours a night or else I can barely function. I have a lot of problems with word retrieval and switching words, which I didn t do until just a year ago, although it is much worse now. I ve been getting numerous optical migraines (at least one daily). I had my optic nerve evaluated and they said it looks fine. I do have depression. I see a therapist every other week. I continue to have muscle spasms in my right leg even though it s been over a year and I walk regularly. I do work full time although by the end of the day I am exhausted. I ve also been having episodes of vertigo approx 1-2 times a month so violently dizzy that I throw up and have to lay in bed for a few hours before it will stop. I have pretty severe heat intolerance and feel nauseated, weak, and dizzy if I can t get cool. What is wrong with me? I m afraid to keep going to the doctors for fear they will consider me a hypochondriac as when I got the PCOS diagnosis at first they thought i was making it up until they got the definitive lab results.
[|AI|]  Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry too much. Depression and related symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks are common after traumatic accidents. Such a scenario is supposed to be treated after proper diagnosis.  Please consult a psychologist for psychometric assessment and advise on further treatment methodology. Such a condition might take considerable time to recover. Please be patient. Work with your psychiatrist and physician and co-operate with them. They have the necessary knowledge and experience.  If you need more of my help in this regard, please post a direct query on this portal. I am happy to help you. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
