<pcs from sports concussions usually resolves in young adult males. just look at all the NHL players who come back after 1 or 2 concussions, even if it takes them a year to rest.>

This is a much disproved statement. Return to play is much different than 'resolves completely' or 'recovers.'

The passion to play and financial rewards of getting back on the ice often over-rule common sense.

'Once concussed, always concussed' is the rule. Move forward dealing with prolonged symptoms as best as is possible. BUT, remember, your brain has suffered an injury. Treat it well and you will get the best results.

I know the head ache issue well. I have head aches at least 25% of the time. Fortunately, they are rarely the debilitating kind suffered by many of you still in the early stages of PCS.

Taking aspirin and acetaminophen combined helps me with mine. I take the enteric aspirin that does not dissolve in the stomach. Be aware that acetaminophen can be hard on the liver so do not take it too often.

My heart goes out to you head ache sufferers.

My best to you all.
