6 weeks after concussion - getting worse, help needed pls !

Hi there, its been years since I posted here. Ive had a head injury and Im not sure how clear this will be. I am def suffering cognitively.

female, on no medications at all, 120lbs, very active prior to the injury, no shots, I eat pretty good (because I have food intolerances ) and have used homeopathics for 20+ years, as well as herbs and alternative medicine.

NOTHING IS WORKING and I am hoping someone here is good with concussions and brain injuries! .

FEB 23RD INJURY
I had a head on collision with my dogs head as he raced towards me when I got home, I bent down and we crashed heads. I think I broke the brow bone of the left eye- there is a lump still there. At the time it popped a massive lump at the brow bone within 2 min of impact. I ended up with a significant black eye and a concussion diagnosed by a Sports Medicine Chiropractor who I saw at 3 weeks. we have a doctor shortage so I do not have an MD and the Emergency Hospital was packed when it happened so I did not go , no xrays or tests were done . When I went into the ER 3 weeks after the injury with worsening head pain and abdominal pain they told me my head wasnt an Emergency and would not run any tests for it although they did an abdominal ultrasound which was fine .

I had taken aurum met last year and recovered exceptionally well from the funk and post long haul covid problems I had . For well over a year I felt half my age and was very very active, full of life and bubbly prior to this , feeling fantastic , I was cognitively doing pretty great, I loved listening to loud music, Im very extroverted and I roller skate 4 days a week, work a part time job, have teens at home and have a farm. Now I can barely get through a day and Im sad , dumb and frustrated.

I used naranyi injury mix initially and felt pretty great considering. However i believe i felt much worse after the arnica 200c which is odd considering its in the combo remedy

Ive since tried a few others including nat sulp, ignatia (my horse died in the middle of this), aconite (then my household got a cold), Ive tried hypericum and cal carb for the worsening splitting head and neck pain Im experiencing . Then I gave up and have been trying OTC but it barely dulls the pain and I feel sometimes makes it worse. Some days I have great days. but i dont know why. Maybe I get more sleep? more water? i dont know.

I am still going to my part time job in the mornings and I often feel pretty good in the mornings and while im at work. WORSE for being at home, worse for afternoons and indoors.

Ive gotten significantly worse just in the last couple weeks and today and yesterday are excruciating pain!!!
