As you probably already know, the CT and MRI and not often helpful in the diagnosis of a concussion, but they can rule out some more serious causes for your symptoms.

Most important for anyone who may have sustained a concussion is to allow your brain time to rest. Watching TV immediately after having a concussion was not good advice!

There are no prizes given for toughing out the pain of a concussion and the most important thing is always to rest and let the brain heal. My brother and I are high school athletes and very competitive but nowadays the smart approach to athlete with a concussion is "when in doubt, sit them out".

The same applies on or off the playing field.
