On Jan 21, 2010 I was working out with my college track team when a spotting mishap ended with two 75 lb dumbbells falling on my head, I didn't lose consciousness, and because I expected some pain, I didn't consider a concussion until later that night when I was in so much pain, and so dizzy and nauseous that I had to go to the ER. They did the MRI and cat-scan and everything came out clean. Unfortunately, symptoms remained and a week and a half later I had a neurologist telling me I had PCS. I went looking around for information, found this website, and read alot of the stories and what not. After taking advice to basically just rest and do the bare minimum physically, I recovered sometime around March 13th. I slowly tested myself with track, and found that sprinting and throwing javelin didn't irritate me. Since that day, I had one episode in which symptoms returned for a day after heavy lifting. Needless to say I have stopped since then.

However, just the other day, throwing javelin, it came out wrong and hit the back of my head hard. Since then, all my symptoms have returned. Besides my roommates giving me a hard time about it (seeing as they haven't had it), my last three track meets ever are coming up, and I really can't see myself missing them. I was just wondering how dangerous it would be to continue throwing javelin for the remainder of the season, making sure to be more careful, and cutting out any other physical activity.

Thanks!
