If you broke your leg and had to wear a cast, it would take weeks after the cast was removed and a slow return to use before you could get back to normal. The brain is often even slower and needs a slower progression back to normal.
The brain will tell you when you are doing too much. Listen to it.

Thanks. I will try to be more subtle with my head for a bit.
So should I just wait the course and see if it heals? (i'm 2 and half months post concussion)
Or is there anything more I should do in terms of looking for forms of treatment?
Could it be neck related?
I went to a Vestibular Therapy place a few days ago. They did a bunch of tests and the only tests that caused dizziness was when i walked around with my head moving around and from side to side (which I already knew). They said that my eye movements were normal and that the Vestibular Organ was likely not damaged so that's a good thing. He gave me a couple of VT exercises to do but i'm scared to do them because i know they will make my dizziness worse. I already feel worse after doing those tests at the VT place.
