Are you exercising at all? Maybe you should try going for slow and short walks around your neighborhood to keep your legs in shape. I wouldn't go overboard if your brain is sensitive to exercise.
I don't think your rubber legs have anything to do with the concussion. Your body is probably used to being active and now it's not, so your legs are like "*** is going on here"?? Lol, sorry that's the only way I could explain it.
Remember, rest from a concussion doesn't necessarily mean to lay in bed all day. You can do low stimulation activities (as long as it doesn't cause problems) and go for short walks. If you browse the forum, you'll find posts from people on what type of activities worked for them.
Godspeed!

P.S. I remember Mark suggested you get a stationary pedal set awhile back. Were you able to pick one up?

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
