Hi,

I did a bit of a search and still going through some material on this forum but I figured I would try a post.

I have PCS and on week 7, from some posts here it is much less severe than many of you. My concussion/PCS was caused but what they suspected were 2 nasty blows to the head within a couple of days. Likely did not help that I had a bad head cold during the peak period.

Over the last couple of weeks there has been significant improvement and am wondering about returning to work (had 4 near symptom free days if I was very careful in my activity, which was mostly resting and a bit of TV). I have seen Dr.'s but with limited to no help.

Currently, I have no headaches or if I do get them after some mild activity they are relatively mild. I do from time to time get the feeling of a bit of head pressure or tightness in the back of my head. I find driving or walking in a grocery store are the worst since it feels like my brain is shaking in my head and it bothers me after a while. No light sensitivity but noise sensitivity to higher pitched sharp noises but can tolerate them mostly.

I am curious about establishing limits to my work or just pushing through it? I have the ability to work from home for an easy back approach but after working a bit I either get a small headache or tightness in the back of my head. Although slight I don't want to aggrevate anything, any experience out there that could perhaps give me some advice? Being mostly staring at a PC monitor as part of my job should I just stop, give it more time or just take breaks and push through?

Any suggestions?
