Default i went back to work too early am i hurting myself?

I went back to work April 14th of this year. i first got my concussion on Febuary 3rd then reinjured myself on March 30th.

over the course of my PCS i have made a ton of strides in the right direction but i still have lingering symptoms and my head is still sore to touch where i initially hit my head

i never gave myself a chance to get back to normal and im wondering if im doing long term damage by making my brain slowly heal rather than sit out of work and let it heal totally.

is it possible to recover working 40 hours a week? im thinking since it has been 8 months and im still not 100% that i might ask for a layoff soon and try do the final push to get back to normal. i work construction so it can be tough on my pics
