Thank you so much for the response Mark!


You asked about if I felt any IMMEDIATE dazed and confused sensation. I am not sure if I remember fully because, as I said before I have a history of PCS and anxiety surrounding head bumps so my instant response was incredible anxiety and stress. I am therefore not sure if I felt dazed or confused but I do not think so as far as I remember. However, I am not sure how relevant this is because is it not possible for symptoms to only show up later?

You also asked "If I or anybody said this could have been a concussion, what would you do about it?' For me, it is very important to know if this could have caused a concussion because I stress about it a lot to the point where I could even create/make symptoms worse. Since bumping my shoulder I have been experiencing headaches, pain in my neck on the same side as the shoulder bump, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and brain fog/problems with concentrating. I am not sure how much these symptoms are actually triggered by the bump to my shoulder and how much they are simply due to my stress response and my hyper-focus on my physical symptoms.

I would therefore like to know if you think it would be possible for this impact to cause a concussion. You said it could not cause a cervical concussion, but what is the difference between a cervical and a regular concussion? And could this impact cause a regular concussion? Especially considering that the force made my teeth chatter/knock onto each other? The fact that my teeth vibrated really makes me worried since I really do think the force of the door vibrated through to my head, especially considering I was walking forward very quickly and with forward momentum and the door thus totally knocked me back very hard.


Especially given that my neck is hurting, do you think it is possible that the push to my shoulder could have jostled my neck because it pushed that side of my body backwards, thereby causing my neck to rotate and injuring my neck and head?
