Concussion: Mask Issue Help
Hey guys I could really use some help from the paintball community right now,
My name is Reagan, I'm 17 and I've been playing paintball for 7 years; wouldn't give it up for anything else in the world. So about a year ago I received 2 concussions within 24 hours (Saturday and Sunday) while playing in a paintball tourney. I got hit 2x right on top of each other above my left temple and once in the back of the head where the squishy part is in the middle. Anyways I've been going to many different therapies and have improved tremendously over time. I'm just now starting to try to go back to school one class at a time for the second attempt and the Doc has cleared me to go back to paintball; however, I have to have a full helmet paintball mask that he approves of. I've searched and purchased multiple masks and so far none have fit my ginormous head.
What I'm trying to say is, do ya'll have any ideas or suggestions?
Does anybody make customizable paintball masks?
If ya'll have any connections with paintball companies or helmet producing companies (like football, baseball, etc...) could ya'll help me get in contact with them?
I don't know what to do! I feel like there's nothing out there and that I'm going to have to quit paintball! It even makes me more miserable with the season about to start up in a couple of weeks!
Thanks

I was thinking of one for my wife as she has had surgery right where the mask stops protecting and I'm fearful of if she takes a hit in JUST the right spot something bad minght happen

The Doc did approve of it but the issue was that it didn't fit my head.
