Have you considered the possibility that your headaches might be cervicogenic? This could explain why you don't have any other symptoms. Trying some relaxation / icing of your upper neck might be worthwhile.
Also, I don't want to frighten you, but if I were in your situation I would seriously think of whether the pleasure from playing hockey is worth the (substantial) risk of another concussion and potential PCS. |

My neurologist said that as much as she hates brain injuries and high impact sports, that she wants me to play hockey again bc she thinks it’s all anxiety. What’s interesting is that last weekend I got in a car accident when I was rear ended and my friend got his first concussion ever and I don’t know if I got a concussion but my head seriously hurt for a few days but a week later I’m back to the full functioning self. Haha maybe the concussion helped wash away my anxiety. I just don’t understand it seems the majority of athletes get better in 2 weeks and the small minority who don’t end up with extreme suffering. I am in the middle of all of this because I have barely suffered at all. |

Echoing Vania though - I can't speak much for your anxiety but I can say youre making ME anxious with your eagerness to play hockey. While sports are great and all, I'm quite concerned that all it would take would be one more blow from a hockey game and then you'll be another person on the forum with myriad symptoms. Maybe others might feel differently, and it's ultimately your call but I wouldn't take the decision lightly, and I definitely see a lot of people on here who had an innocuous first concussion followed by a devastating secondary concussion. |
