I hit the back of my head hard on Saturday. Today is Thursday. I saw a doc on Monday for pre-op clearance. She checked me out, asked questions, and never diagnosed it as a concussion. I am light sensitive and I can't stay on electronic devices for very long before I just have to look away. I'm trying to rest and rest as much as possible and each day I get a bit better. I feel almost back to normal today. Is this something I should report to my surgical team? Surgery for MM is Feb 22nd. Thanks!

Answer: Recovering from head injury Prior to undergoing any type of elective surgery it is very important to be in the best health possible. Although you have not been formally diagnosed with a concussion your symptoms such as light sensitivity suggest that you are still recovering from your injury and probable concussion. You should report this to your surgeon immediately and undergo a thorough neurological examination to make sure there are no residual ill effects from your head injury that would affect your upcoming surgery. Good luck
