At 3 months I could not have ran and I'm sure a sauna would not have been good for me either as temperature had a big impact on how I felt. Trying new things (taking new steps) should be done in moderation until you know how it affects YOU.

Youngboii,
The sauna would not have a positive impact on your symptoms. It will stress your system. What was your purpose for the sauna?

I sauna-ed from two months onward. The first few times I couldn't take it, but now it's part of my daily routine. Try it for five minutes and see how you feel.

Recovered by the end of February. A branch fell on my hardhat at work on 10/7. Not sure if completely concussed but have been feeling "out of it". Definitely injured my upper cervical region and upper back. Out of work for the time being. |

If you do sauna, rinsing down with cold water afterwards can be very beneficial for circulation, including to the brain!
