Ankle swollen, bruised feels like shooting sparks and burning?
I can understand your frustration, and with the current situation with pain management, many are falling between the cracks. Many people have multiple sources of pain, which at the end of the day is a subjective symptom and cannot be measured. You may need a dual approach: 1) assessment and pain management by an interventional pain specialist in view of the suspicion of complex pain syndrome, etc. 2) Diagnosis of etiology, which may involve a team including vascular neurology, etc. You should probably go to university affiliated or higher center where all specialities may be available.

Skull laceration nerve damage?
You clearly need an assessment with a full history and appropriate investigations for both your fainting spells and suspected traumatic neuropathy. I presume the cause of the fainting is simple even, then treatment may be worth pursuing in view of the frequency and consequences. I would see a neurologist for an assessment. The syncope or fainting may also be related to migraine for which also there are new treatments.You need a proper assessment by a neurologist. READ MORE

There are many causes. The first question to ask is, it it localized? Is it self limiting? Are there any precipitating factors? Any underlying illness?
