Working out is what I love...I've been doing it right after turning 15 (19 now, I was 18 when assault happened). I stopped working outaltogether because I was told not to until I am symptom free. When I asked my neurologist, he said to ease myself into it and see how my body feels. It's been 4 months since the injury, so it is definitely post concussion syndrome. My workouts are heavy lifting, 5 to 10 reps. I tried working out a couple times but I didn't feel good. So I took some time off, and bought a membership 5 days ago. I hit the gym everyday since. I felt nauseous, and have a feeling like I have lack of sleep/no energy. Very fatigued. I pushed myself through it.

So my question is:

1) I feel like this injury may be permanent, if I haven't healed in 4 months....

2) Even though I feel nauseous, I want to workout anyways. If I do this, will this set me back with my head? Or is it just an issue of extra pain? I know doctors recommend no exercise due to risk of a head impact, but lifting weights is pretty safe. However... I am exercising at 100% capacity for 5-10 reps (lifting heavy). What effect will this kind of exercise have on PCS and recovery?
