Concussion recovery process
Common Questions and Answers about Concussion recovery process
concussion
Has your doctor tested to see if a rise in blood pressure aggravates or causes the return of your concussion symptoms. Your recovery time generally depends upon this assessment.
A recent study conducted by the University of Buffalo’s Concussion Management Clinic suggests that cardio vascular exercise performed on a equipment that does not involve a lot of impact or bouncing such as a stationary bike, elliptical or treadmill can speed the recovery process. One of the lead researchers Dr.
t masturbate, but I have had, sex during concussion recovery and my symptoms always increase afterward, even if the sex is not strenuous. It is the movement of the head that cause such, so due to my head injury history and experience, any movements that affect movement of the head can have a negative affect on concussion symptoms and recovery.
Up until the initial recovery process I did not realize that I was ADHD (everyone around me did, of course) and I did not realize that I was somewhere on the ASD continuum (again, most people around me guessed it). I thought I was just quirky and smart.
As I lost all of the coping mechanisms that I'd taught myself over the years, however, I had to confront myself as a child in my late 40s. At the same time, my youngest son was being evaluated for hyperactivity and ASD.
Is there anyone out there who has been down the same road with TMJ and who can share the length/process of their recovery? The doctor said (after surgery) that I should be back to normal anytime between this current month to two months from now. Yet, I am nowhere near normal. I still have a long way to go.
Side note: I am supposed to have orthognathic surgery after a year of braces (once I get better).
My concussion occurred 37 days ago when I slipped and fell backwards hitting the back of my head on a turf surface. In terms of the concussion recovery, I've been working with a concussion therapist to employ the practices of slowly getting back into activities without provoking symptoms. Unfortunately, I haven't seen much progress and may even have my symptoms come on earlier. I believe that this is related to sleep and neck issues that began about 18-20 days into the recovery.
Ok so I have had close to the whole chart in symptoms of a concussion 7 months post impact. I was recovering at a fairly normal pace until about 3/4 weeks into recovery when pain worse than when I had the initial headache from trauma. Keep in mind at that point I was a healthy 15 year old boy that was extremely active. Well anyway the pain that had returned from nowhere was increasing gradually for about one and a half months until the pain was so intense I had to go to the ER at 1am.
Full recovery is expected from an uncomplicated concussion. But symptoms such as prolonged dizziness, memory loss, decreased mental functioning, irritability, and headaches may occur. If cold compress or over-the-counter pain medications do not help, have this checked by your doctor for proper management. Take care and best regards.

It is not possible to predict what happens after concussion. Most likely it is a concussion but you may never know.
If MRI picks up anything it may be fixed at early stage (like CSF leaks, minute bleeding etc.,). I personally know some one who CSF leak after they had a mild concussion and suffered. Finally she went to John Hopkins where they fixed and she is doing excellent now.
As rumpled suggests go to doctor as soon as you can.
good luck.
sounds like you need to go to the dr. asap. you may have a concussion as well as other problems. an mri at the very least should give you more information.
good luck and i hope you will keep us posted!
It sounds like you suffered a concussion. I would not run to the hospital right away since it has been a few days but I would go see your family doctor just to get checked out. I know the balls you are talking about and I would not like to get hit in the head by one. In the meantime lay low and do not do anything strenuous, use in ice pack and some type of pain reliever for your head. You could feel this way for awhile so since you did hurt your head.
I sustained a minor concussion three weeks ago, and though my logical and linguistic faculties seemed to return to normal within a couple days, I have had persistent feelings of pressure and weakness in my head, though these have markedly diminished within the past week. At present, I have recovered enough that I am able to use the computer (with the monitor at low brightness) for simple tasks like reading and writing emails.
I am 55, received MRI after concussion. Was told it was unrelated. 2 days after the concussion, my short term memory, wasn't there, I was forgetting what I was doing if distracted by any thing. Example if someone interrupted me while taking, I forgot what I was talking about. Better after 6 months, but still having some issues. Also following the concussion, I had issues walking. I walked to left, crashed into things.
A few questions come to mind to help you through this process:
1) Do you have access to the car to look at the dashboard in front of where you were sitting. You might be able to ID any indentations.
2) Have you been seen by any medical professional?
3) Was this a reportable accident and any police report?
4) Does the Driver of either vehicle have insurance?
You should go immediately to a nearby ER and be examined by a Doctor and have any test or imaging they recommend.
Anyway this happened on Feb 18th and the recovery has been very slow. Her doc put her on amitriptline and it seamed to take away the headaches. 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.
