3. How bad are screens and video games for recovery? (I try to stay off all of them as much as I can)
4. After 3 concussions back to back to back before the one before it was healed, proceeded by multiple from action sports before. How long do you think my recovery time could last?
5. Is exercise bad for your healing process? I'm losing lots of weight and am unhappy with it. I want to get back to exercising asap
6. Are minor muscle spasms that randomly happen in your arms, back, neck, legs, chest, and face anything to be concerned About?
Thank you for your feedback

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure theres no definitive answer to most of your questions. The best thing you can do is to listen to your symptoms and go from there. What triggers them, what your tipping point is, what helps, what doesn't and work on slowly building up your tolerances. That sort of thing. Every concussion is different so no one can tell a definitive answer that applies to your specific situation exactly, you kind of just need to be your own guide and listen to your body.
No one can say how long your recovery will take, its not something you can really control so theres no point in pondering over it.
I have never heard of headache killing brain cells unless its caused by an underlying condition like meningitis or aneurysm or something that would give other clear signs (high fever, confusion, numbness, etc) that something was seriously wrong.
Mark will likely give you a more in depth answer but that's all I got.
