I've had a concussion for 3 months now, and I have been completely resting, physical, and mental. So the answer to question #9 is right AND wrong. My grandma recommended craniosacral therapy. I've been 3 times and its helped my 24/7 headache. It's amazing!

@francessweeney2308 7 жыл бұрын

Everyone needs to be educated in what a concussion is, how to deal with it, and the effects of a taking a second hit before recovering from the first one. The most important thing is:REPORT IT AND TAKE AS LONG AS YOU NEED TO RECOVER. A few months off then a gradual return to sports/active duty is better than not working for the next 2years.

This treatment information is now outdated & we know that too much rest and “cocooning” actually make the recovery much worse by preventing blood flow and the moderate stimulus needed to heal the brain. Mild exercise is very important to a threshold below what can re-trigger symptoms. Check other videos for updated treatment recommendations! Also getting into a concussion specialist asap is key.

Concussions are rough. You definitely don't need to play sports to get one. I suffered my first concussion when I was 13. I fell riding my bicycle. I didn't think the fall was that bad, but I had intermittent migraines every few months for about 10 years after that. They stopped happening in my early 20's. I'm grateful that they went away. My second concussion happened when I was 26. I was hit by a drunk driver on the interstate. That was bad enough that I lost consciousness. I still don't have any memory of the accident. The first 8 hours of that day are gone. Everything I know about it is second hand accounts from what people told me or what I read in the police report. I never had any headaches or physical pain from that concussion, but my short term memory and concentration were terrible for a few years after that.

I have played multiple sports from the time i was 12... and have been in multiple fights growing up... Been knocked out about 11 times from hitting the ice in hockey... kicked in the head playing soccer.. and boxing. Ive suffered approximately 20-30 concussions in that time. Now in my late 40s.... im having more and more severe headaches.. loss of balance.. and massive mood swings. This is starting to scare me a bit. Just thought i was just getting old... now I'm thinking of getting checked out.... CTE scares the hell outta me.

I’m now fighting a different level I didn’t have before I was in hospital for a week and waiting to enter rehab and I know I am not the same it took 7 years to get my act together and now everything is polarized and stare and it’s hard to make others understand what is wrong with you now I wouldn’t wish this on no one you become a actor to please everyone else but yourself cause the say you look fine to me step in my shoes for 19 years and just seconds you will have a different outlook.

So if you get a glancing blow to the head during a soccer game and you have one of the symptoms for 10 mins immediately after, ie slightly fussy vision and slight head pain. That goes away almost immediately and then there are no further symptoms on the day or any following day for 10days. Is this a concussion or not? Doc in q1 says 1 persistent symptom. Out soccer rules say 14 days rest when there are no symptoms at all after an initial short period, certainly no persistent symptoms

I got hit by a ball thrown at me and had a lot of symptoms and then 2 years later got hit with a ball even harder and closer to me in the same area and only had a few very small symptoms that went away quickly, do I have a concussion from the second hit?

@rubencardoso9449 8 жыл бұрын

+Caucasian Sensation Yes, you might have a concussion from that second hit. There are a number of factors that increase or decrease the risk of concussion such as the area of impact (some areas of the skull are more fragile than others); the anticipation of the impact (meaning if you had percieved the near impact and had responded accordingly by, for example, contracted the neck muscles); your overall physical and mental state by the time of impact... An individual who had suffer a concussion is not safe from another one, in fact, such individual might actualy be more prone to develop a concussion (not meaning this is the case). 2 years is a very long period to even try to establish any kind of correlation. But, I should advise you: if you feel any kind of symptons such as dizziness, nausea, confusion, loss of consciousness, ... you should stop the physical activity (or other activity) that led to those symptons. An individual who suffers a concussion and still remains in the game is an individual at risk, since a new impact might have dramatic consequences such as the second impact syndrome (although very rare, it leads to death in about 50% of cases).

Rúben Cardoso Olá Rúben, reparei que eras de Coimbra, eu também sou de Portugal. Obrigado pela resposta, e já agora, sabes de alguma forma mais concreta, para além dos sintomas no video referidos, para saber se alguém teve mesmo uma "concussion", sem que seja feito um exame mais aprofundado?

@rubencardoso9449 8 жыл бұрын

+davimartinsivad Olá, não tinha reparado :). Relativamente ao diagnóstico de concussão cerebral, este continua praticamente sustentado na clínica, e os objetivos principais prendem-se com a exclusão de lesões mais graves que necessitem de intervenção imediata (hemorragias epidurais; subdurais; subaracnoideias; fraturas cranianas e leões medulares) e detetar a concussão o mais precocemente quanto possível, atuando no sentido de prevenir um segundo traumatismo, potencialmente mais grave. Há contudo alguns algoritmos que podem ser aplicados por qualquer indivíduo, no caso de não existir algum especialista de saúde nesta matéria por perto. De modo geral, não é preciso um exame aprofundado para identificar uma concussão, apenas se alguns critérios forem preenchidos é que há necessidade de recorrer a exames neuroimagiológicos (que em Portugal se resumem à TAC e, eventualmente, à Ressonância Magnética). Contudo, um estudo mais detalhado do evento concussivo e do impacto que pode ter em termos de modificações fisiopatológicas cerebrais está na dependência de outros exames mais específicos (ex: DTI - diffuse tensor imaging). Mas já estou a divagar e não deve ser isto que queres. Deixo-te aqui dois links para ferramentas diagnósticas usadas (uma por médicos, e outra por qualquer pessoa). Pessoal médico: bjsm.bmj.com/content/47/5/259.full.pdf Para qualquer um: bjsm.bmj.com/content/47/5/267.full.pdf Espero ter ajudado. Alguma dúvida é só dizer. (Este é o tema da minha tese de mestrado na área de neurocirurgia, portanto considero-me minimamente à vontade para falar sobre ele...sem contudo ter experiência prática sobre o mesmo)

You know concussions were more common before football existed, because calling what you get in football a concussion, is an understatement to say the least. Generally the brain recovers from a concussion, traumatic brain injury and brain damage are different, you can't make vaporized metal into a sword but you can with liquid metal, so the brain requires structure to recover on, brain pulp will not heal.

I do not regret getting the covid vaccine but I wonder if somehow it has irritated an old injury. Has anyone else had this s problem? I do hope it goes away, the sooner the better.
