I want to welcome you to Neuro Talk. This is a good site that will help you get some more information. There is a forum for concussions, with others who have experienced this too. I am sorry your 8 year old had this accident happen to him. You are absolutly right about getting him to your primary care physician for him. He needs a complete evaluation of course before returning to any kind of sport. I hope this isn't a serious concussion, but one that he can recover from without too much more trouble. Please ask around the site and I am sure you will find others that will respond to you too. I wish you and your son all the best. I hope you find resolution to his condition. ginnie
