Potential Concussion?!?!
 
So I had a rugby game on Friday and got tackled and landed head and shoulder first and ended up hitting the side of my head on the ground. At first I was a little shaken up but got up fine. No balance issues, dizziness, memory issues, etc. I kept playing for about 20 more minutes with very minimal head contact however I have had an extremely light headache that comes and goes ever since and I can only really feel it when I focus on it which makes me wonder if it is psychosomatic or something. Still no memory issues, nausea, etc. though. I'm going to go see a doctor at my school tomorrow but I was just wondering what other people think would be the recovery time until I'm back to normal.

I'm currently waiting until the light headaches go away for 24 hours before doing any jogging/running and will work my way up to full contact as long as I have no reoccurring headaches. I'm hoping to be able to play in the next game on Sunday which will give me a total of 9 days to heal. I've never had a concussion before so I'm not sure what to expect in terms of recovery except for what I've heard from other athletes but since every concussion is different and I showed only one of the many symptoms of a concussion I don't know how my possible one will heal.
