Concussion ?'s
 

I suffered a concussion on june 29th w/ no loss of concussion, at least i think, i was alone. I did not vomit, i was dazed and had blurred vision immediately after and had a headache for 3 days. I went to the er and had a normal ct scan and no broken bones. I had been symptom free for two weeks until i suffered a 2nd concussion with a loss of consciousness on July 13th. I do not remember a thing, i just woke up in the er and had a headache for one week. I have some tenderness on the side of my head which im sure is just bruising but i have had no headaches today. My 2nd trip to the er also resulted in a normal ct scan and no broken bones. Before all this happened I scheduled a surfing trip for a week which starts on Aug. 1st. Basically my question is if i remain symptom free for the rest of the week can i go surfing.

Oh man that isn't a question that anyone but you and your doctor
can answer.

But I would definately ask your doctor about this kind of thing.

Also I'd make sure you have someone that knows all about your concussions
with you too. And have all the medical information with you.

Personally I wouldn't try it, but I wouldn't go surfing so its a moot question
for me.

Good luck, and be safe.

IF you were to get hurt again the odds of a serious or more serious problem,
are stronger.

I agree, that is a question for your doctor.

Based on my experience, I personally wouldn't go. I have had my symptoms come back through doing sport having not taken enough time to heal. At the time, I felt that I was fine and my doctor said it was ok too but then all my PCS symptoms started and now it's been months and I have not healed. That's just my experience though, best to talk to your doctor.
