It seems that one of the biggest problems is that the advice we recieve from medical professionals is not nearly conservative enough. Reading through this forum has helped me to learn so much about how to care for/protect a concussed brain. Although my daugther has now had four concussions and is currently having sx of PCS (having already had PCS three years ago), brought on by doing a 10k run one month ago, I just had a doctor say that if her current sx were from the run we would need to look at having her wear a helmet for sports like Lacrosse I hope you will find a great doctor but educating yourself is really critical as it's very possible to be underadvised by doctors.
