Bro im not a real Doctor, but i play one on TV..... Id say um YA! Did u go to the ER? If not id go see a doctor just incase. Im sure he/she would say not to strain urself for a few days. Just my 2cents.

Your name is Meathead and you're asking if you can work out with a concussion.


I laugh.

But seriously, i don't have a good answer for you. A good question for your doc.

[ripped4fsu]

unless your name is Steve Young you better get your head examined...

Or if your name is Eric Lindros or Troy Aikman.

Bro
you should take it easy. i've had my fair share of them and really they aren't something to take to lightly. In many cases the true effects don't show up for a day or 2. My most serious one (which ended up sidelining me for quite sometime and caused lingering blackouts for a few months) didn't present itself for almost a day and a half. i had gone to the hospital got stiched up and checked out and it looked like all was cool. Inside my head however swelling was slowly increasing and the presure building. Just be smart with it a strenous activity like llifting heavy in ht enext couple days might not be to wise. THen again I have had a few mild concussions where i was fine within 2 days.
anyways just be smart
