i spent a day and a half at the hospital, but i also broke my wrist and hand.... ive been feeling like i did before the crash for about 7 weeks....im 13 yrs old..... i know that ur not doctors, but i would like ur opinions... (and yes, i did searchbar, and i din't find anything that could answer my question.....)

First off, good on you for wearing a helmet.
Really, I rode right after I broke my nose and got a concussion, same when I was skiing and a boarder caused me a concussion, but you broke your wrists, which id sit on for a while. Biking with a broken wrist doesnt sound like a good idea

NONSENSE! DR. NS IS HERE FOR THE RESCUE.

But for real, don't do anything until you are at least 1 week without symptoms.

idk but some kid in my school got like a mild concussion playing football and didn't know it and kept playing in practice. then he got hit again the same practice and had a seizure and shit. now (about 2 years later) the kid still doesn't come to school for full days, still forgets his name and shit on occasion and is all around FUCKED for the rest of his life. and it's sad cause he was like little and skinny (kinda a dorky kid) and his dad made him play football. makes me feel bad. i bet his dad feels like a piece of shit though.
