Noise sensitivity, crowds and stress are some serious concussion symptoms to still have and claim "I've mostly cleared up."

What symptoms have cleared up?

I wonder if the other girl intended to spear tackle you. If you were a moving target, it would be more a consequence of luck.

I no longer get headaches when reading or concentrating. Memory and concentration skills are back (or at least I'm acing each test given to me by the doctor). I can sit in front of a computer for five hours without issue (not that I should!). TV, music, driving are all fine again. I just now respond to stress with a headache. I can't do as many things as I once did (like running around to go shopping or do errands) without getting a slight headache. LOUD noises (machinery, loud traffic) will give me a headache as well. I sat in a crowded restaurant tonight without issue. At this point I'm thinking I may have a pinched nerve (or something) in my neck, which may be why I respond to exercise as well. Going to see a physical therapist soon..


She probably didn't mean to spear tackle me, as I'm 125lbs and she was probably over 200. That said, I had already passed the ball.

One concussion in 2012 from rugby. Loss consciousness and took around 5 months to recover completely.

Hit my head hard on a shelf on 12/7/14. Recovered by the end of February.

A branch fell on my hardhat at work on 10/7. Not sure if completely concussed but have been feeling "out of it". Definitely injured my upper cervical region and upper back. Out of work for the time being.
