Default Doing a lot better, but a few things still persist...

Hi folks,

So, I know I'm only on month three, but I thought I'd let everyone know about my progress:

As noted earlier, I had a tough time with flying/stress, but since returning to Oregon I've been doing a lot better. I've been working four hours in the morning without issue, and I spend the next four hours catching up on the school work I missed during my accident. I've started swimming, which has been fine and I feel amazing afterwards. One more thing that has really helped is that I turn off all electronics at 10 pm. It's really helped with my insomnia.

I finally went to a physical therapist for my neck. Turns out a few of my discs were out of alignment. He put them back in place and showed me a few stretches. I felt AMAZING afterwards. 100% better. I didn't have a headache for days and was energetic at work the next morning. Unfortunately, my neck pain has slowly crawled back and with it, the headaches. My heads are more of the ice pick kind and rarely last for more than five minutes. They're usually on my forehead and radiate to my neck and left shoulder.

Does this mean that my headaches are mostly related to my neck problems? I feel so close to being done with this.

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.
