Q: Concussion Recovery
asked by: seanseif on July 30th, 2009

Hi,

I suffered a concussion about 5 weeks ago by an object falling on top left front side of my head. I was actually recovering very well in the second week post my injury but than in the third week I had a huge break down and since then the recovery has been going very slow. I am fully functional but still have headaches, heaviness and tightness on my head with some dizziness. My primary care thinks it would another month before I fully recover. He has me working 3 hours a day from home, walking half a mile a day and sort of gradually build back my tolerance level. I have not gone to office in over a month and emotionally I have gone through lots of ups and downs. The CT and MRI Head both came back normal. But I don't seem to be able to shake off the symptoms I described above. Sometimes, it's discouraging. Hopefully, I bounce back soon and get back to my normal life soon.

My main question is, what do I need to do in my condition to not further prolong this injury and have a quick and clean recovery?

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean

Looking at the date of your post back in July, did you recover? If so, how long did it take?

I'm currently experiencing the same with slight disrupted vision and dizzyness and headaches. All physical activity (weightlifting, mountain biking) is now at a standstill. I'm approaching my 5th week after fracturing my skull after being struck by an object.

I'm trying to get as much rest as possible, keeping my heart rate at baseline, supplementing with Omega 3, Vitamins and lots of water.

Please answer the above! It means a lot to me!

Thanks

Dan
