Concussion

[PickMe69]

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.

That is interesting though, that he shot himself in the chest. Someone comitting suicide would definetly shoot themself in the head to cause less pain. That's a good theory.

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?

Hey bro it's been 4 weeks now. He is feeling better then before. Just getting random headaches and pressure around his head which comes and go.

He has seen doctors and they had told him it will take time and will get better own it own.
They said it takes 1 to 3 months in most cases to completely heal and feel better again!!

When he got concussion without knowing much about it, he was still engaged in physical activities like swimming and lifting which made his symptoms worst. But now he is getting better but still very moody !!

Any suggestions how to recover faster???

the only thing that will help is doing nothing physical.

Yah, because swimming and lifting are intense, and increase blood flow A LOT. The pressure and strain can cause damage to the brain when its trying to heal from a concussion. *from what I understand from what my doctor told me

I was doing some light biking and incline treadmill walking, low intensity but still gets that blood moving. But I also lost a lot of weight when I came off, I dropped from 225 pounds to around 175 and it wasn't fat weight either. I just got skinny, but it may have been effected by the post concussion depression I seemed to have for several months afterwards as well.

Good luck to your buddy man! Just be smart (unlike I was at the time) and don't stop eating, just clean up that diet if he still can't lift and workout intensely.

Glad to hear he's doing better though.

He said the same thing. Any sort of exercise build pressure and then he feel sick again.

He is been resting heaps now, no physical activity at all, just light evening walk that's it.

I can feel it.he was really depressed but I wasn't sure what was making him so negative n depressed.

Now he is recovering better and looks less depressed as I talk to him thru it,
He is going to rest for one more month before start doing any physical activity!!!

Big fan as well. Junior was great for the sport, had class and just seemed like a great guy.

Just a theory but seems like it is possible. stevesmi is spot on:

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