Concussion

[Gearjunkie]

Hey guys just wondering how long does it take to get better for concussion!!!

My mate was training for Mma when he got knocked out and suffering concussion....

It's been 3 weeeks. He feels really weird...

Docter said he can't lift weight and trains till he gets better...

Anyone who suffered concussion or have any idea how to deal with it!!!

Pls help.

Cant say from experience but he should go for some scans.

Definitely wait till you get cleared by the doc not worth risking it.

It's been 3weeks mate. And Docter told him he might be suffering from post concussion.

Are u allowed to continue weight lifting

ask the doctor.. its been proven now that if you get more than 3 concussions you will suffer permanent brain damage.

thats why in the NFL you are required to retire after 3 concussions and you are not allowed back into a game after a concussion.

i've gotten 1 concussion in my life from football. but back then you just got thrown right back into the game, they didn't give a shit about you. now there are much more rules, hell they used to not let us drink water in 90 degree weather. it took a couple players dying for the state to now require water breaks

That's harsh bro!!!! No water drinks you will die from dehydration for sure!!!

Any idea how long does it take you to get recover from concussion or when can start lifting again ??

it varies depending on the severity of the concussion. could take a few weeks to many many months. there is no timetable with concussions and no two are the same. do not start any physical activity until the doctor clears you

A car ran a stop sign and hit me going 30mph (so she said). I was walking. My head ended up almost punching a hole through her windshield. My concussion was so extreme my brain shifted. (Don't know the medical term for it) I ended up with brain seizures and couldn't move my head with out getting extremely nauseous. It took me 4 months to recover to the point that I could function. It was the summer between my junior and senior years in high school. I was on anti-seizures meds for years after that.

Scans are a must. Every concussion is different and as is every person so recover time is variable. The damage done is cumulative. Unless I was a pro in sport such as football, boxing or MMA one concussion would end it for me. One concussion is one too many but I cannot stop walking. I sure do take extra care to look out for for idiots behind the wheel when I am on foot!

David Duerson, who played in the pros from 1983-1993, committed suicide in 2011 by shooting himself in the chest actually wrote that he wanted his brain examined. I think it is probable that Junior Seau committed suicide due to trauma-induced disease caused by concussions when he played football which may have resulted in depression. It is highly likely Juniour shot himself in the chest so his brain could be examinded to help others.

From personal experience, playing football I suffered a double concussion (2 small concussions equalling one VERY bad one). If he has been feeling "ify" for a couple weeks now then he had a fairly sever concussion. It took me a couple months to feel completely normal again, but I also saw a doctor three times during that period. Is he seeing a doctor?

and then you have hockey enforcers who are commiting suicide as well from all that beating they take fighting.

this is a real problem and the medical community is years behind in studying it.
