xxxxx.xxx,

At 12 weeks post, I suggest you continue a more stress free life. Try to minimize your head aches with behavior and short, gentle walks. Try walking with foam ear plugs so you can hear your foot plant. The jarring of your foot plant could be causing your head aches, or at least adding to them.

Learning to walk with a softer gait can go a long way in enabling you to resume your walks.

Also, walk a shorter circuit/loop. Multiple half mile loops will allow you to quit before your head ache gets intense. The Buffalo exercise protocol calls for slowly increasing your exercise effort while trying to remain at the bottom threshold of causing a head ache.

Do you mean you used walking as a stress reliever prior to your concussion? If so, it sounds like you like a very stressful life. Stress is by far the worst thing for recovery from a concussion.

Can you do anything to reduce your stress load?
