Can somebody please answer a question?
Where are people getting the idea that fast stops in the car or bumping a wall or laying down hard onto a pillow or bed could be a concussion or cause damage?
Is there a Twitter feed or other social media that is spouting this nonsense?

Hi Mark,
I just had an experience like this right now and I’m terrified of another concussion. I hit the brakes hard and didn’t hit my head on anything but it kind of felt like my brain boggled in my head.
To answer your question, I personally get the idea of my brain going with the speed of my car and then stopping abruptly against my skull when I brake. I did not hit my head or move, just pictured my brain going with that speed and decelerating quickly into my skull. If that makes sense.
I am about 5 weeks out from a past concussion and really am afraid of a new one. I don’t know if this is silly or not but I am freaking out.
If anyone else has any input please share!
