Default Concussion 1 week ago today

Hello everyone,

I had my first concussion one week ago today. Long story short, I was hit and fell straight backwards, head hitting the ground full force.

Since the headaches have been quite bad, especially in the morning. My dad is a doctor, he checked me out and said I should be okay, although he is not a neurologist.

I've had no real dizziness... no nausea, memory loss... etc. Really the only bad symptom is the headaches that won't go away. I have been taking Tylenol daily, always staying below 4000mg, as I have not needed that much per day.

It's been 7 days now, I read on WebMD that some people make recoveries in 7-10 days, though I don't see that happening here.

Has anyone here made a full recovery from a concussion like this? If so, how long did it take?

Just wanted to get your thoughts, I'm trying to better understand what I'm dealing with here.
Thanks
