I asked that exact question in my first ever post on this forum. If I recall correctly, Mark sounded even more exhasperated with me than he does with you

Whilst you will certainly be able to find doctors who will tell you that you will make a 'full recovery' and be able to go back to sport, the evidence I have seen, my own experience of worse concussions from ever more minor sports impacts and the experiences of many others that I have read about on this forum lead me to believe that Mark is right. And I'd REALLY love to believe otherwise.

I know it's tough to hear and will make you more down than you already are but it might save you from a lot worse in the future.
