He plays football and apparently had a concussion that we were not aware of during the season. Like I said, it's been 3 months---his grades have gone down drastically and he still has daily headaches, dizziness, blurry vision and is unable to concentrate on his school work. We are glad to finally have a diagnosis and the Dr says he will eventually get better. He is starting vestibular rehab next week. Guess I'm just wondering when "eventually" will be.

My son age 16 was diagnosed with PCS on 1/5/12. He's an ice hockey player. He had to take time of from school. He has, depression, headaches, dizziness, can't focus or concentrate, light sensitivity, irritability, sadness, emotional, feeling slow and groggy, fatigue, bouts of anger, and balance problems.
He gets so annoyed that he can't do anything. He wants to play hockey, but the doctors say not for another 2 months. One moment he the kid i've know, so nice and easy to talk. then he becomes this angry, abusive kid I don't want to know. He keeps saying he's fine, even though I know he's not. He's lying cause he wants to play hockey.
His coach wants him to come back to the team. He say "I talked to him and he sounds fine. Let him play". My husband thinks I'm going overboard and should let him play. The doctors say, no way, not yet, not until he is symptom free.
Has any parent had to deal with this before?
