Well I had a concussion specialist come see me today (been booked for 4 weeks).
I spoke to them and they said this :
33 days ago (1 month) - Sustained Mild concussion
12 days ago - Sustained knock that flared up and added cumulative effect to previous concucisson
1 day ago (yesterday) - sustained knock that again added cumulative effect.
I asked if there was a way to determine if it is another concussion or a flare up and they said no because there is no sure way to know unless you were knocked out with 2 different incidents.
So honestly, I am freaking out about my long term health right now as what happens if I did sustain 3 concussions within 1 month.
I was feeling honestly fine yesterday (12 days post second knock), and today I feel awful. Pressure in the head, headache and I have literally slept most of the day. I can't do anything for more than 20 minutes without fatigue so it honestly feels like a concussion ontop of a concussion ever since I hit my head on boot lid.
The lid actually came down from wind and struck me on the head. They said because I am still in the vulnerability period that things that wouldn't normally cause issues can add a cumulative effect when recovering.
I'm honestly so stressed and upset and wished I had listened to you after that FIRST knock I recieved when going back training and stopped.
Right now I am so worried as I have potentially had 3 concussions in 1 month. I don't know what to do or who to see. It seems that speaking to doctors or even concussion specialists they can't tell me if I am or am not recieving multiple concussions.
I'm thinking of privately paying for a full nuerophysc exam and also I'm being referred for CT and MRI just to rule out other issues.
How dangerous is recieving a concussion ontop of concussion apart from SIS?
