concussion from football

I am 18 years old and last fall during Rugby season I had a concussion. I was out of conscious for around 4 minutes. And now yesterday I was snowboarding and fell multiple times on my head while not wearing a helmet. My head imideatly felt pain in the same spot of where I felt the pain during my concussion in rugby. Im not sure if I lost consciousness or not during one of the falls. And now I am starting the wrestling season I dont know if i should take this season off or not?

ve been playing full contact football since I was eight years old I am now a sophomore in high school and have played two incomplete seasons both cut short from concussions I also sustained a concussion my freshman year from football. To who ever just read through slop from my symptoms and problems I thank you so so much, I am just desperate for answers anything really good or bad I just need to know.

Thank you so much for the input at least it gives me another way to go no the doctors never mentioned the post concussion syndrome but I'll check into it however its not just high school football to him its his college choice on the line unfortunatly but his health is more important to me we will see what I can figure out thanks again.

He needs to see a neurologist to rule out the potential of a traumatic brain injury because if that is diagnosed the mental changes resulting from a t b i are treated differently than from a psychiatric disability. Generally changes of this nature are permanent but sometimes a person can gradually regain functioning over time as happens with a mild stroke.

Guess what guys.! I got a concussion. ): Done with football for the season and sports for the whole YEAR!!! Hopefully we can let me do discus at the end of the year...NOT A CONTACT SPORT....They are talking about taking me out of football for good. Which I understand...but I got the concussion off of punting which I NEVER do except for tht one time.

t due to the concussion but something found because of the concussion causing you to get diagnostic testing done. But I would get a 2d opinion unless the near-surgeon and the testing saw something urgent. A lot can be wrong without symptoms.

I'm 16 years old after my football concussion my eyes have gotten farther apart now I can't even look my friends in the eyes . Do eye doctors do surgery for this or medicine . What should I do ?

I suffered a concussion 4 months ago when I fell during a parade with my high school band. My mom took me to the ER and I was diagnosed with a concussion. I had a CT scan and nothing was out of the ordinary, and it seemed to just be a mild concussion. 4 months later, I'm still having issues. I'm a junior in high school and concentration and memory issues made me switch out of all of my honors classes into regular ones and drop both math and science completely.

He played high school and college football and substained a concussion playing football while in 10th grade. He also broke his ankle playing college footbal which resulted in surgery and a metal plate was fused to his bones to repair his broken ankle. ER doctors think he had a seizure @ the wheel of the car. I am totally uninformed, am not a doctor and don't think he has eplipesy or seizures. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I am an 18 year old male who is still suffering from the effects of multiple concussions in high school. I had one my junior year, which was not too serious, and the effects of it soon cleared up. However, the next year, I received a violent blow to the head (football again) in which my mouthpiece wasn't in correctly. I was wearing a revolution helmet, the supposedly concussion proof helmets, which cracked all the way down the side from where I got hit.

I am a 19 year old male who has suffered 8 concussions from football and various other sports. These are only the ones that have been diagnosed and are all from within a 5 year span. I have seen a neurologist as well as having 2 MRI's and a CT scan but all the results said everything was functioning fine and would just take time.

He got a mild concussion in football and was out of the game for 2 weeks (this really made him nervous as his cousin had a severe concussion with lasting brain damage), soon after he healed from the concussion he got swine flu and was out of school the better part of two weeks, shortly after a return to health he got Mono and strep throat (he wasn't fatigued, but had a severe sore throat, pains,and difficulty swallowing).Now he gets scared at school.

Concussions and other brain injuries results from high-contact sports such as football, boxing, wrestling and hockey. Aside from headache, other symptoms noted are dizziness, lightheadedness, memory loss, nausea or vomiting, blurred vision and sensitivity to light, difficulty in concentrating or with balance. For complex concussion, symptoms may last longer than 7-10 days. Have her rest and to avoid any activities. It is also important to avoid loud, bright, busy environments.

should he be playing football? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/278055'>Abnormal Brain Activity -- Seizures or ADHD</a>.

Because I read the sports pages a lot, it sounds like concussion syndrome to me. Football players get it a lot. So while it could be anxiety attacks, you did suffer a concussion. Are you seeing a specialist for that?

I have heard of one or two players in the NBA who have come back from valve surgery and played again, but I have not heard of any college or professional football players who have come back from any kind of open-heart surgery to play football again. Even with a bioprosthetic valve and no need for blood-thinners, valve replacement surgery causes a major injury to the center of the chest.

My older son (now 14) has had 3 concussions, all mild (even though twice he was knocked unconscious, two came from hockey and one came from a fall at the playground.) My younger son (now 10) had what they thought was a mild concussion after a fall from a fence. Initially they said no sports for 3 days but a week later he would come home from baseball crying about a headache and vomiting.

And the headache lasts roughly four hours. The pain is excruciating, like a concussion. Speaking of, I played football and have had a concussion before. I've decided to abstain from masturbation for a week (<tough decision eh?XD). Anyways, I'm wondering if this is a kind of headache I should consult my family physician about. The headache doesn't come just when i masturbate either. Since it started, I've not been able to workout, or otherwise strain myself physically.

She finally went 15 days symptom free just to have a very big headache causing her to have an eye twitch on 3/18. She said the pain was an 8 on a scale from 1 - 10 and it was at the temple. The headache eventually went away but the twitch is still there. She had a CT scan on the 6th and it came out normal. Should I be concerned about the twitch or the length of recovery. She wants to play hockey again but I feel we should wait another month. What do you think?

This was a routine MRI, so we thought, after a concussion. There are only three things this child cares about. 1) Football, 2) Football, and 3) Competitive target shooting. I feel so bad for him. All he has every dreamed about since he was nine was to play in the NFL. Now, how do you tell him that he won't even have a chance too?

t ask about his demeanor during the day, but I just talked to my daughter and they had gone to a sports bar to watch a football game but had to leave early because my grandson became nauseous again. I want her to call her doctor or go to the ER but she doesn't think it's necessary. What do you think?

Thank you for your response. When I was in high school I suffered 3 concussion playing football , I stopped playing my junior year had have not had any post concussion syndrome issues, maybe its connected . The reason the first doctor thought STD is because I started feeling symptoms 3 days after having sex, but my doctor does not feel it is related since all tests have been negative. I never had any outbreak and Valtrex for 6 weeks no change. I am just very scared at this point.
