Hi everybody , I'm a tow truck driver full time and a strongman/ powerlifter on the side. On may 23 2013 i was pulling a van off a retaining wall when the hook attached to the van let go and struck me in the head hard. Im currently on wsib and have seen a neurologist and nuropsycoligist and am currently undergoing physio , which seems to make it worse - my symptoms are lightheadedness dizzyness nausea , feeling like I'm moving when sitting still .

Ive been told recovery is 3 to 6 months and up to a year . I have had previous cuncussions before . My question is about going back to work , i drive about 12 hours a day and doing calls , a fair amout of physical labour. Driving makes me sick after about 20 min on the highway , city driving is worse.

Bending down and standing up and lifting from the ground makes me sick and if i overdo it I'm sick for the following day. Im wondering if ill ever go back to this job and if i should consider retraining to do something less physical . I haven't been able to train at all since the accident. Just sit around and wait to get better because if i do any sort of work i get sick after.
