I am 21 years old. In September 2011 I got a whiplash concussion playing intramural football (no helmet). It was my first concussion since April 2008, (healed within a few days) and my 2nd possibly 3rd concussion overall. Since the concussion in September I have had the classic post concussion symptoms, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, feeling bogged down. I seemed to be on the road to recovery but was never able to heal, I believe due to excessive drinking and working out. A couple weeks into February my symptoms had gotten considerably worse. I also began experiencing upper neck pain for the first time, something which I believe was originally caused by the whiplash. I have been going to physical therapy for my neck and head at a concussion clinic near by. Since my latest wave of symptoms I have stopped drinking and have only been lightly working out. I was advised by a neuropsychologist to "get back in the swing of things", meaning a return to school, (missed a week of classes) and a normal college life. What should I be doing to get over PCS. Is it beneficial to be pushing myself both cognitively and physically in this stage of the recovery? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
