concussion

Avatar m tn I play rugby league which is a heavy contact sport and have suffered a tear in my palmaris longus. I won't get any results for about 1-2 weeks and in that time have a few training sessions and two games. Is it safe for me to play or should I wait for the results from my scan to come back?
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn It is abundantly clear that in some cases concussions may result in seizures. That is not a "theory". It is a medical fact. It doesn't require "discussion". But not all concussions result in a seizure. There can be varying degrees of damage depending on the severity off the blow, where the impact takes place, and from resultant swelling, and if there is a delay in seeking medical attention. A "concussion" is not a "concussion".
Avatar f tn I was playing rugby and someone smashed my head on the ground (I was knocked out) I don’t know how long but people around me said my eyes went to the back of my head. Plus I couldn’t remember anything past that. I woke up at school infirmary and failed the concussion test, couldn’t even distinguish a chair from a table. He most recent one I also lost consciousness, I passed test this time.

Avatar m tn when i have the headaches I am sensitive to light or sound, i get very shaky, and i feel sick to my stomach, I am extremely athletic...and play rugby..I have had a concussion before but it has been a long time since i have experianced one, i also took a considerable amount of time off from sports to recover from the concussion. I have been stressed lately with things going on between my boyfriend and i, and have found myself becoming waaay more emotional than usual...
Avatar m tn ve racked up a fair few injurys playing rugby - Ligaments in my left ankle, Ligaments in the back of my left knee, Dislocated left shoulder, back spasms and now have mild sciatica in my left bum cheek. (which i think has something to do with my back spasm,anyways). Although i have had all these injurys it has not stopped me playing and now when i am training etc When training after a run or tackle sometimes i'll get a sharp stabbing pain in my perinium area which is excruciating.
Avatar n tn one week after concussion my 14 week malteese turns in circles all day what can this be.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Also one of my friends suggested I think about joining a rugby team from a nearby town, which instantly resulted in me shouting in her face, which I know she didn't deserve and is highly unusual of me, thankfully she understands and has layed off, but i am upset as i have a close relationship with her and it was bad of me to do that.
Avatar f tn Thank you for replying. I have been off season for a while wil Rugby because we don't play in the winter, only the Fall and Spring. So I have been dealing with chest and jaw pain, and pain in the left side of my face, and arms and shoulders for a while and I wasn't playing Rugby during this time. Also, the heart beats I get are rapid and they are pounding at times. So the clenching of my jaw I don't do, and the pain in my arms aare not from Rugby either.
Avatar m tn I suggest you do a search and keep abreast of developments in this area. In the meantime any further exposure to risk in the form of Rugby should be eliminated.
Avatar f tn I am a concussion survivor. Could you get a concussion if your head stops suddenly from a fast movement? Yesterday I was in a hurry and running and pushed the door in front of me. It stopped abruptly which caused my body to stop too. Could this cause a concussion? I'm scared because I am recovering from a concussion already. Does it make me more prone to brain injury? Please, help me!

Avatar f tn Sounds like you might have a concussion. A concussion is a mild brain injury caused by a knock or blow to the head or a sudden change in motion. See a doctor just in case.
Avatar n tn I've been having swelling in my hands when they rest my side for a long period of time (30min or more). Raising my hands above my heart for 5-10 seconds relieves the swelling. I'm a 27 year old male with slightly elevated bloodpressure 135/80 and I am also on a small dose of medication for hypothyroidism. Although I am a social drinker, I do not smoke and consider myself overall healthy.
Avatar n tn https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-concussion-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20353352 Make sure to tell the doctor about all of the workouts you're doing, to make sure you're not perpetuating the problem by doing a specific exercise. Hope you start to improve!
Avatar n tn Having a son who's a rugby player myself, I think it's quite possible he's walking around with broken bones. I can't believe these guys, and their pain tolerance. If his chest looks different, best to get it checked.
Avatar n tn I have had severe floaters in both eyes that have increased in number and size over the last 31 years. At age 18 whilst playing rugby i fell in Dog Faeces where soon afterwards I started seeing these floaters. Many medical professions over the years have dismissed my self diagnosis of Toxocariasis and that they are just floaters. 2016 i had POV surgery to remove floaters in left eye but didn't get the vitreous humour analysed.

Avatar n tn m 15 years old male and in great shape, non-smoker, never drank alcohol in my life. yesterday during PE class we were playing rugby and the other class decided to play "prison rules"... anyway as i was running with the ball a kid hit me with his fist precisely between my stomach and my penis(almost where your bladder is). There where most of your pubic hair are. it really hurt and i went to rest in the shade.
