First workout in 6 weeks
I haven’t been able to workout in about 6 weeks because of pain and concussion symptoms. I’ve been cleared to work and do things except for workout. And so today it’s been about a week without any bad symptoms. I still get some headaches but I have thought they would have been linked to how…
