Hi All,

I would really like to hear your feedback on an actual concussion versus a “setback.”

I am currently a 24 y/o male with a history of concussions dating back to 2016.

Over the course of the year, I have had 3 instances that have triggered symptoms. They were all accidental light head hits that were not preventable. They caused headaches and neck pain that lasted a week or so. However, most recently, my girlfriend and I grazed heads in bed one morning. I didn’t even expect symptoms, but here I am 3 weeks later still dealing with the pain. It was such a light head hit that my girlfriend did not remember the event when I told her the next day.

I wish I understood what was happening with my body. I’ve read a lot about neck trauma and the relationship it has with concussions. Is it worth getting my neck looked at? I don’t understand how such a small hit could cause so much pain
