I tried running again yesterday.

I did a quarter mile during my 2 mile walk and the head feels goofy today and anxiety is up. Been 10 months.

Not sure what to make if it. I should have not done weights yesterday as I don't know if it is one or both that disturbed my head.

Weight lifting causes tightening of the neck muscles. This can alter brain blood/fluid pressures and cause symptoms. Not good until everything has healed.

Weight training has no value to recovery. Light exercise to enhance blood flow is all that is needed.

I find as I return to exercising that weight lifting and running are out of the question still. However I have found that a stationary bicycle has been doing wonders! I usually follow that with some basic yoga moves and I have felt the best the last two weeks since I started doing this. Swimming is also really good exercise and not jolting of the head involved there

I find it interesting how the head heals unlike any other part of the body that I have experienced. At times it seems everything you have learned about healing during life is invalid for a head.

Rjam,

How long ago did your injury occur?
