Be careful to enter an exercise routine gently after recovery, and to cross-train. If you have been sedentary for a while recovering from you mTBI, then your muscles will be weaker and you may injure yourself. This happened to me and I just wanted to provide that friendly reminder.

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking. Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it. |

Bud,
The anxiety attacks lasted about six months when the headaches kicked in, which is when I went on nortriptyline. That probably helped the anxiety. Pretty soon I didn't even remember I had those anxiety attacks. They creep up in me now and again if I'm not paying attention to my body and not breathing right. VB

I did injure myself soon after resuming my workouts after a 4-month pause. I think I ruptered a disc in my lower back, though it was outside of the gym. What an easy injury! My left leg and the left side of my body hurt for a couple of days, then I started doing some exercises to fix my posture, and after a total of about 10 days I was completely pain-free. I wish brain injuries healed this fast too (still struggling with a concussion from 6 months ago).
