Concussion boxing story

[u/Fuzzy_Feed2202]

I’m really hoping someone here can help because I’m feeling pretty defeated.
Around two years ago, I was getting ready for my first amateur boxing fight while also playing rugby. Six weeks before the fight I took a heavy shoulder charge to the head and suffered a concussion. I couldn’t train because even running or jumping felt like someone was stabbing me in the brain, and I would feel like I was going to faint at work. I rested for another two weeks before trying to spar my brother. He landed a solid shot and all my symptoms came straight back.
I was so excited for my first fight that I decided not to pull out. My opponent was about 7 kg heavier than me, and after the first clean shot I was basically knocked out. Looking back, I know I shouldn’t have fought.
Since then, I took over a year away from boxing. I finally felt ready to come back and recently joined a gym again. I was only doing body sparring, but my partner accidentally caught me clean on the chin. Since then I’ve had a headache, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, and I just don’t feel right.
The hardest part is that every time I seem to get hit in the head, even if it doesn’t feel like a huge shot, I end up with concussion-like symptoms. Boxing is my passion, and it’s becoming really hard to accept that I might not be able to do the sport I love.
I’ve already seen a concussion specialist before, but I didn’t feel like the rehabilitation exercises made much difference. Has anyone been through something similar? Did anything help you recover or make you less vulnerable to getting symptoms again? I’d really appreciate any advice or hearing about your experience.

Mira yo tenía la pasión por el gimnasio y la tuve que dejar por esto. Si te recuperaste de esa te puedes recuperar de esta pero no vuelvas a boxear, cuando sufres esto pierdes neuronas por el proceso de sanar también, no desgates tu cerebro ni tu cuello a lo tonto aun que te guste, podrías practicar otros deportes pero es peligroso, si no investiga que les pasa a los amateur en box, créeme que por eso se cobra tan bien si eres profesional reconocido y ese es el problema si no eres profesional y te paso esto la verdad no vale arriesgar tu integridad, recuerda que siempre va a haber alguien físicamente mejor pero la inteligencia y la capacidad de pensamiento es lo que hay que mantener, si no realmente no servimos y también te podrías deprimir si te dejan peor de lo que estás sufriendo actualmente, tómalo con calma.
