Unless the pain is unbearable, I think rest is likely your best bet... there's not much the doctor can do for you in reality except prescribe more headache meds.... I am now 15 weeks out since my concussion, and I am just now starting to see regular improvements, with fewer setbacks. My physiatrist said most people with extended symptoms won't start getting better till 3-6 months, and full recovery usually happens at a year or later.

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
