: Minor closed head injuries are common and frequent. You describe one, and this certainly was not a concussion. Have NO clue what you mean by "subconcussive impact". Nor do I understand why you would be concerned about modifying your activities. If you need to convey some challenges suggest you re-post.

After a subconcussive bump to the head (bag (approx. 1kg) swung into me; have minimal pain, full memory/consciousness), do I need to adapt my behaviour around food, exercise and rest as I would for a concussion. Or can I carry on as normal?

Is it possible to have a CSF leak without a very hard hit to head maybe a bump enough to get symptoms of a concussion wasn't knocked out drip and ear?

How long does it take to get over a concussion? It has almost been a month and my head still feels different.
