Wasn't untill Sunday I knew I had concussion when I saw a doctor. How long do headaches with concussion last for? I was told they can last for a few weeks or more?

    Yeah it's true. My best mate got knocked out on a bouncy castle in July and she had headaches for a fortnight and wasn't allowed to drive. Her short term memory is a bit crap now as well.

    "Full recovery is expected from an uncomplicated concussion, although prolonged dizziness, irritability, headaches, and other symptoms may occur"

    Maybe she knocked her head into someone? I've jumped into people loads in the past on bouncy castles, lol.

    As for concussion. I suffered from it when I was 16. I had severe headaches for 2/3 weeks. I was given medication for it. Did your doctor not provide you with any painkillers?

    No I just take the painkillers what I got here.
