Hi, I had a pretty bad injury to my neck while skateboarding a few years ago, the skateboard hit me really hard in the neck and I blacked out for a minute or so. I didn't think much of it at first (no symptoms just a very stiff neck) after a few months I started to get strange mental health symptoms feeling weird in my body, not being able to think clear, anxiety issues (i had no history of anxiety) also I would get a sort of pulsating headache in the back of my head. No doctor could help me or they thought I was a hypochondriac. So then I started trying to eat as healthy as possible live stress free etc which helps. But I still have these symptoms (i just learned how to deal with them better) one of the strangest things is if I get any kind of massage of my neck it's like my nervous system is on fire and I go into anxiety mode. (this goes away after maybe 2 days) I tried explaining this to doctors asking for an mri scan to my neck but they always make up some excuse like it's a waste of money for the hospital etc. (this is very typical in belgium) any advice? And sorry for my mediocre english.
