A member asked:
I got tackled hard in rugby i did not hit my head but it hurt my head an neck my ears hurt with sound my head dosent hurt now do i have a concussion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: A concussion involves either loss of awareness or possibly altered mentation, so potentially things like confusion even in absence of loss of consciousness can still be a concussion. Pain, alone, doesn't make it a concussion.
