Default Jumping causing a setback

Hello - I'm a new member and have been dealing with PCS since August after sustaining a concussion in a mountain biking crash. I have had a few setbacks during the intervening months, from bumping my head twice, to a violent head shaking episode due to insomnia and benzo drug withdrawal. Needless to say, it's been a challenging 4+ months.

I've been feeling better lately, and during a walk last week I decided to jump across a small stream - not once, but twice. Soon after I could tell that this had been a bad idea. In the days since, my PCS symptoms have returned to a point where they were two months ago. Headaches both behind the eye and in the back of the head, and anxiety and sleep issues.

Could I have sustained another concussion by jumping and landing, or have I simply exacerbated my PCS symptoms? I'm icing and trying to limit my screen time, hoping to get back to where I was a short week ago.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
