I didn’t read everything, but this jumped out at me:
> What led to the first concussion? I’d decided to repay an opponent who had, during a battle for a loose puck, shoved me into the boards head first. I’d been having neck issues, and this had made them instantly worse.
Imhad a concussion last year. Turned out to have caused a bunch if neck issues that led to post concussion symptoms for many months till I found physio focussing on neck/eye treatment post concussion.
I also think my neck issues pre concussion made me predisposed to it, as the neck braces to help protect the brain in a blow. In the years before the concussion, tiny bumps would often leave me feeling discombobulated. Post therapy, I find tiny bumps are fine.
If anyone has had long lasting concussion symptoms, I highly recommend vestibular physio. Here’s what I wrote about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Concussion/comments/d8e4zz/symptoms_went_away_entirely_following/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Concussion/comments/d8e4zz/symptoms...
- nradov 7y agoProfessional boxers put a lot of emphasis on training neck strength in order to handle being punched in the head. It apparently helps, but if course the concussion risk remains.
- graeme 7y agoYup, the brain is vulnerable. But, I would say anyone who had a concussion should seek vestibular therapy. And so should someone in a high risk field or sport, and who has neck tension. Would not recommend professional boxing to anyone however.
