A member asked:
Can someone chucking a ping pong ball at your head cause a concussion or brain damage? i've had a concussion before and am trying to not worry.

Might be trouble: Worrying about getting hit by a humanly-thrown ping-pong ball is likely to cause more damage than the ball itself. Excessive worrying or unnatural worrying are both detrimental to one's health. One's primary care doctor can help, or refer to a psychologist if needed. Let the ping-pong balls land where they may.

My cousin used to slap my head daily for nearly 5 years when we were in our early teens. It wasn't anything that would cause me pain or a concussion, just more of a weird game they would play. Bizzare I know, but can this lead to brain damage or CTE?
