Can car accidents cause tumors? I had a car accident 2 years ago and I had an x ray done on my head but no MRI

Question:

Now I feel a weird inter cranial pressure sensation on the left hemisphere (primarily on the left temperal lobe. I have looked up information on this but cannot find anything. I didn't have insurance at the time of the accident which is probably why an MRI wasn't performed.

Answers:
I do not feel u have a tumor nor subdural hematoma from the car accident. Your symptoms would be noticeable to the Dr. that saw you for you to have a hematoma. It is possible you have developed a tumor, but do not blame it on the car wreck. It would be best to get an appt. with a neurologist, only a Dr. can diagnosis what u have, not the net. They will do a neurological check on you to see if you have any problems before they order a MRI. Never rely on the net for a diagnosis, only a dr. that has examined u can make a proper diagnosis.

if you had head trauma you need to get it checked out and rule out possibilities of hematoma here are some search results

you seem knowledgable about medical jargin so you can probably understand many of these results

As with any ?? dealing w/ medical query there is no better advice than to ask your physician. this answer is only based on the information received and NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED UP WITH YOUR DR.

I am not a MD and in NO WAY advising you in complete certainty that these suggestions may/or may not be relative to your specific medical needs
