bumponthenoggin,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

What you experienced is quite common. When you hit your head, you likely suffered a subtle upper neck injury. This contributed to you concussion symptoms. The weekend project likely aggravated this almost healed neck injury causing a return of symptoms.

All you can do is take it easy like you did before. You may benefit from icing the back of your neck. Read the Vitamins sticky at the top. There is a link at the bottom of the first post with a link to post #101 with the latest information. It has a recipe for making soft ice packs and lots of other good information.

Feel free to tell us more about your struggles.

My best to you.
