Traumatic brain injuries have many causes including sports injuries, car accidents, falls and domestic violence.

Sadly, once a person has had a concussion the injured brain is much more at risk for another injury. Some folks with Multiple Impact Syndrome can sustain a new concussion from something as seemingly harmless as a big sneeze.

Hockey:

Thanks SO much for the explanation. I had no idea. And your last paragraph explained it distinctly. I didn't know that even a sneeze could cause a concussion. I knew a sneeze could put out one's back because that happened to my brother in law. He sneezed and his back went out.

I got an education today, and I really thank you.

Take care,
Melody
