What symptoms did you still have when you returned to training ? Did you take hits to the head, even with head gear on ?
I noticed when I tried to return to training a few days after the initial concussion that my head was sensitive, so much so that when I was holding pads for a training partner I could feel the impact in my head at first I didn't realise what this was so trained through it and even sparred later that day. I felt fine but then tried going for a run a few days later and the running made me feel much worse, when I got home I felt like I was concussed after just running with symptoms like mental fatigue, lacking in concentration. At this point I realised something was wrong so stopped all training and activity, but I was finding I would experience symptoms if I did anything even talking to people was an effort and irritating my head (as in I felt sensitive to the noise of holding a conversation).

The first couple weeks were quite bad, I tried to rest as much as possible but symptoms came on quite easily even experiencing vertigo every time I stood up too fast. The symptoms have went down sine then it has been around 2 months almost but I am still sensitive to noise and to moving my head around.
