I'm so sorry- I hit my head again today, despite trying not to for so long.
 

Been a while. Hope those in pain find comfort.

Concussion was 2.75 years ago.

Tapped the head a few times in the first year. Hit a tree branch at one point, then backed into a hanging chandelier a year or two ago.

Nothing else til today. Sitting into the dentist chair, swung the left side of my head into the hanging lamp.

I'm wondering how bad the pain wll be & how long it will last.

Not going to worry, Mark. I know that Jesus persevered through the worst & claimed victory. And that our hope is in Him.

I'm just feel so defeated by not carefully watching where I was moving my head.

Lord help us all please.

Your reaction to this impact will be what it is. You know the protocol for recovery. I am sorry to hear you impacted your head. Been there many times.

My best to you.

I have been recovering from an MTBI for 2 years. I have been jolted a few times over that span (a minor car accident, etc) and had a return of symptoms (light to moderate). With all the public talk about repeat concussions and CTE. Are these small bumps and jolts that produce symptoms increase my chances at developing CTE over the longer term?

I was doing quite well on the road to recovery apart from being unsteady on my feet which caused me to fall down the stairs before Christmas- hitting my head a few times on the way down :rolleyes:

It has set me back about 4 months but as Mark says you become better prepared for the recovery

Hope you get back on track again soon. I also recently reinjured myself. I had been feeling close to normal and was living life again, and now the dizziness and debilitating nausea are unfortunately back. So frustrating.

This is my worst fear, that I will get close to feeling better and get reinjured. I'm terrified of the thought.

Luckily (?) or perhaps sarcastically, I'm nowhere near feeling better yet so at this point it may not make a difference. Sigh.

Very sorry to hear you got hurt again. :(

It could be that you just get a headache for a couple days, or you could completely start over and even have your symptoms change on you. I have bumped my head hard many times, but only 4 or 5 of them actually made my condition worse for more than a day or two and every one of them changed they type and severity of different symptoms.

So, basically, wait and see, and good luck!
Live Long and Prosper!
In Christ,
Margarite
