Hey all,

I have a question about potholes, and whether they're able to cause brain injuries.

So this happened yesterday on the bus. We were going probably somewhere between 30 and 40mph when we hit a big pothole on my side of the bus. I felt the impact, and I worried about it, but I forgot about it until I got off the bus 5 minutes later. However, as I got up to leave, I fealt that my tailbone was tender and aching, making me think that the impact was worse than I thought.

30 minutes later, I felt a bit off, and began to get a nauseous feeling, almost like a nervous stomach. Im not sure if this is due to the pothole, or the anxiety that had grown from it. It continued until I got home, and slowely went away.

My tailbone is still hurting, but i'm concerned that the other symptoms may be from brain injury. Would this be possible? The bus seats are hard plastic, so I'm worried that maybe I was exposed to higher G forces.
