Concussion
I just got a concussion and neck injury in cheerleading practice, and we have a big grand finale coming up for at the end of football season. It's really important to me that I perform in it, because I've been working really hard on the squad, and it's my last year in KMJL, so I want to make it count. Any advice on cheering up?

Talk to your Dr. Find out how soon he feels it will take before you'll be back to normal and able to perform.
You don't want to mess with stressing an injury of any kind. You can make your situation worse.
If any joints or muscles are already weakens by injury you can experience pain and loss of strength that causes you to slip up and injure yourself in new ways ending up worse than before. Concussions are a serious matter. rest as long as the Dr. recommends. This is one event in your lifetime. As special as it is, it can't be worth it if you cause yourself a disabilitating injury you have to live a lifetime with because of it. Ask Doc if perhaps there's any exercises to strengthen your neck and help it heal. If no activity is recommended, then either listen to him, or believe that you are invincible and chance the consequences. Use your imagination, the lovely consequences might be as pesky as ending up having migraines for the rest of your life that no one can cure the pain of or falling wrong due to pain you have so you didn't execute a move correctly, and you fall in a way that you end up paralyzed or dead with a broken neck. Doesnt sound very inviting to me.
