Can I lift weights with a concussion?

[Edge 0]

Just wondering because i got a very mild concussion about a week ago...don't have any more headaches now but once in a while it will hurt a bit, but i don't want to stop lifting for much longer. I know i'm not supposed to run or anything, so I was wondering about this, anyone know/have experience?

Thanks

I wouldn't, when I've had them I tend to get lightheaded and that's not going to be something I'd want to happen when doing squats.

i had some post concussion syndrome thing though ,where if i got hit in the head hard enough after my concussion id get brain damage or die so yeah ,scary.

I did it after having a mild concussion, but I scaled back the weight and intensity.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say your doctor would be a better person to talk to rather than some hockey players on a message board.

But, his doctor may not have the answer he wants to hear, and hockey players on message boards may!! <_<

and the answer is yes,lol

like some said, go see your doctor about it, he'll tell you if you can or not.

You guys have no idea how much of a pain my doc is to get ahold of. You call, leave a message to call back immediately and get a call back a week later at best. He's cool but man his staff sucks. And i need to get cleared by another doctor before i can play again, so i need to get into see him ASAP!

Heh, this is pretty funny but i had made an appointment with him about two weeks ago for this tuesday to get a wart removed from my knee so i guess i can do it all tomorrow :lol:
