Can masterbating while i have a concussion cause brain damage? why can't i participate in non-contact sports while recovering?

Not likely : Hi, no masterbating will not cause brain damage after a concussion...unless you are doing it in away that can cause another concussion? As for non contact sports, well... There are standard algorithms for return to play and work. The most notable is the ACE care plan, you can google it. It is thought that Mental and or physical stress may prolong recovery time.

Stress and recovery: The problem with closed head injury (concussion) has to do with the poor potential for repair in nerve cells if the injury is repetative.Think of Mohamed Ali, the football players, etc. A period of reduced physical and mental stress after concussion allows for best recovery.I encourage patients not to study hard or engage in any stressful activity for a set period.Consider this and dial it back
