soccer,

Yes, your symptoms are very common with concussion. You need to get seen by a good doctor who understands concussion. At least a neurologist. Definitely someone better than a family doctor. A specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation might be helpful.

You should not be putting yourself at risk. One of the symptoms of concussion is the tendency to minimize your symptoms. This results in making very poor judgments about your ability to tell when you are at greatest risk. Part of your brain is just not working.

You are risking the rest of your life, not just next year or next season.

The body and brain is very good at telling you that something is wrong. Yours is screaming at you.

Please, get some good medical help. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for those you love and who love you. They will be the ones who will have to care for you if you get hurt again or if your condition deteriorates.

You are still young. Now is the time to let your brain heal. It will not heal very well as you get older.

Please........
