As much as you do not want to hear this... I am with Mark on giving up the Rugby thing... and right now, any more than walking and maybe, and I stress maybe some weight lifting... save your brain for your studies...
I was working out daily.. one to 2 hours.. .and now I can not walk a mile without repercussions BUT everyone is different. This is my first concussion that I know of....
Are you feeling any different from the neuro apt that you had 2 weeks ago? if not, you may want to call and just make mention to the nurse that you are not making any improvement... I had the same thing happen and my balance therapist suggested I call.. I did.. my neuro wanted to see me and see exactly what was going on and why i was not making any progress.
Sounds like you have some anxiety going on as well.. which I think based on what I have read and my own personal experience is perfectly normal...
As for another alternative... have you looked into an osteopath? someone that does cranial sacral therapy... small movements that will help reset the brain and your head in general... I started seeing one about a month ago... I have been twice.. I go again next week.... they offer a different look on the brain that a MD... just a thought..
If this does not make sense, I am sorry... head still hurting... ask questions...
