To be honest, I don't know what happens if I don't cut back. The studies I've looked at when it comes to exercise and new concussions talk about the benefits of a low-impact and light exercise following a concussion. So I'm just kind of following that. But I could also try not cutting back.

It is very hard for me to define a setback, I usually just look at if my symptoms worsen some day and take that as a setback. I am symptomatic 24/7 and my greatest symptoms have to do with visual problems, so it is hard to decide whether I have a setback or not.

Pushing myself too much triggers setbacks. I've received new symptoms from pushing myself too much when it comes to doing things, such as working,, hiking, studying etc. But what confuses me is if new symptoms equal new damage to the brain or if they just randomly appear?
