It is? Hmm. Well, 'concern' is attributed to a higher functioning in parts of the brain- so I shall take it

However, concerning the concussion, or, rather the event leading up to it, is there any (meaningful) way to correlate it's actual severity? It's great knowing the likelihood of bleed is very minimal, but I would like to better understand the extent of damage I (foolishly) incurred. It is only logical that varying levels of damage will have some bearing on recovery timeline itself. Nothing likely to literally help the recovery, but good to understand regardless.

Actually, studies show it is virtually impossible to determine the extent of injury and the expected recovery time and recovery success, especially with the lesser injuries like concussions. Imaging can show that an injury is severe but lack of an imageable injury does not lead to a valid prognosis. The saying goes, If you have seen one brain injury, you have seen ONE brain injury.

Unfortunately, those with higher achievement and intellectual ability tend to struggle the most with PCS symptoms. The lack of valid medical understanding of concussions makes this even more difficult.
