A member asked:

Today my friend took my arm and pulled it forward quickly causing a pretty forceful whiplash like head jerk. no symptoms. can that cause a concussion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A concussion by definition is a head injury causing loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or a combination of both. You do not describe any of the above, so, you have not had a concussion.
