A member asked:
Do all concussions involve brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In a word, Yes: By definition, a concussion involves injury to the brain such as compression, bruising, or nerve damage. You may suffer a concussion without loss of consciousness, but if the brain suffers bruising and injury, it is a concussion.
