Avatar f tn He has had severe headaches every day since I haPpened and even nausea a few times since then. Just wondering if he could have a concussion and if we should get it checked out...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn Oh, I always thought that professional wrestling was rather more deliberately planned and choreographed than the opposite; live and learn. If you do line your shorts, please go to a professional seamstress who does skating costumes or costumes for male dancers, he or she would be able to make a relatively natural looking pair of trunks that do not look silly.
1218509 tn?1267490923 Recently I have gone to the doctor and he diagonsed with post concussion syndrome. I should just let my head heal itself and my headaches will go away on their own. However the headaches/ migraines only have gotten worse. I have eliminated activity that will produce more injury to my head under the doctors advisement but still no increase advancement. At that time I had no vision problems or muscule pains. Does anyone have any ideas what could possibly be wrong with me?
Avatar n tn Wrestling will put you at risk for anything that can be transmitted via skin-to-skin contact. Herpes (HSV-1 & HSV-2) can be contracted via wrestling due to the sweat and blood all coming in contact with bare skin. Transmission of Syphilis is also possible, as it is one of the few STDs that can be obtained through casual contact. Much of this risk can be avoided by cleaning the wrestling mats with disinfectant following each match.
Avatar n tn I gave a lot of thought before posting again, because I am sure you are the greastest mom and would never want to endanger your children. This post IS NOT a criticism, or an attempt to make you feel badly. Albuterol is a "last ditch" emergency medication. When you reach for the albuterol you are "reaching for lung reserve". Once that albuterol is ingested, the lung has no more reserve.
Avatar n tn Late into the evening people starting wrestling eachother in the livingroom. I participated. During this I wrestled a woman who may be at risk for HIV (possible injection drug user). My fear is this: 10 hours earlier I had ripped a wart of my finger. During the wrestling her foot got some serious rugburn on it. After the wrestling match I gave her a foot massage.

Avatar m tn Three months ago I was wrestling and the day after wrestling I started having frequent urination which lasted for almost three weeks and then stopped. A couple weeks later I started having nausea feeling for like 3.5 weeks. Now my penis meatus lips are sticking together and sometimes burns? Is it an STD?
Avatar n tn Im very cautious when i wash my face as right now it is located on my jaw line and would hate for it to spread. I have stopped wrestling for this reason. I want to wrestle again but if i rub faces during grappling with somewhere could i risk it spreading over my face?
Avatar m tn I was involve in a very bad car accident 02/10 and have no memory of the actual wreck. the hospital deemed I have a severe concussion and then also diagnosed me with Post Concussion Syndrome. I am currently also experiencing back and neck problems as well as getting a collarbone checked out for a possible fracture. My question is does coffee effect concussion and PCS recovery. And how long does recovery generally take.
Avatar n tn my 11 year old cried after live wrestling, does this mean he is pushed to the limit? He is not able to articulate what is happening to him.

Avatar f tn Loss of consciousness isn’t required for a diagnosis of concussion or post concussion syndrome. Post concussion syndrome occurs within first 7 to 10 days and until 3 months. Symptoms are variable including dizziness, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, loss of concentration and memory, light and noise sensitivity, headache varying from a tension type to cluster headaches. You need to consult a neurologist immediately.
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!

4368956 tn?1357406071 What is it with boys and this physical play? Man, it is tiring for moms. I only have two boys age 8 and 7 and I find some days difficult because of this. Yes, you can have a safe wrestling area but you must have this rule---- if you hurt one another or you get hurt, no coming to me crying. I am often heard saying "well, you play rough and you are asking to get hurt . . . so deal with it.

Avatar n tn s recommended anyone who knows they have hsv1 be on daily suppressive therapy during wrestling season and to avoid wrestling when obvious cold sores are present. I recommend talking to someone in charge to find out what their rules are where you are at. Even the best blood tests for herpes still miss 1 out of every 10 hsv1 infections. Not real unusual to be + on one test and not another like you have been.
Avatar f tn I got a concussion about 3 months ago at a cheer competition when a girl fell and elbowed me in the face. I didn’t get knocked unconscious but I blacked out for 3 or 4 seconds. Immediately after my performance I went to the athletic trainer who performed an assessment and asked what my symptoms were. Immediately I had a headache, I saw halos around lights, and I felt like I was in a dream state.
