Remember that you don't have to actually 'hit' your head for a concussion -- a concussion can result from a coup-contre-coup injury that can occur when the brain moves forward and back very quickly inside the skull. These post-concussion injuries have happened to my son as a result of sudden and sharp movement or jarring of his shoulders or neck. He treated these incidents like a new concussion and tried to take the appropriate precautions to minmize recovery time. Good luck and best wishes.

Most here would half agree with this last sentence. Absolutely take precautions! But when the damage is done, its done, there is no treatment....It all goes back to inflammation and possible neck problems when no contact is made.

Karina,
A coup contra-coup injury still requires a serious acceleration or deceleration. An example I give is dropping a 16 lb bowling ball 12 inches onto your foot or even head. As DavOD said, Consider neck injuries when these bumps happen. It only takes 4-5 Gs to suffer whiplash. It takes 60 to 90 Gs to suffer a concussion.
