I got my first concussion at 27 October 2014, as you can see from my signature.
A week later, in 6 November 2014 I got another concussion from a basketball. A basketball just fell on my head from about 5-6 meters height. I wasn't even playing, I just stood at the side and it hit my head when it fell down from a wall. The 2-3 days before the second concussion I felt like I started healing, but the concussion with the basketball ruined all of it and returned my symptoms fully. I feel like it has slowed my recfovery significantly since I started feeling a little bit better a few days after my concussion, but then that basketball fell on my head and I feel like it impacted my recovery. Why did it slow my recovery? Does it count as a mild concussion or a sub-concussive impact? (The basketball wasn't thrown directly at me, it just fell on my head after hitting a wall). Thanks, -ProAgonist
