I would say since summer is about to start that you take it easy this summer... no more blows to the head... I know here they have a program where they do a test at the beginning of the season for students as a baseline for future head injuries... did they do that with you? Can you go to your doctor and see if they can test against a baseline before you go back to lacrosse?
Plan to just kind of lay around the pool and do a whole lot of resting... I have been told that rest and time will be your best friend... you are young and should recover but I would see a doctor to get a baseline and mark improvements.

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |
