If you did not lose consciousness, loose memory before or about the event, have immediate change in balance stability at the time of or in the minutes after the trauma I doubt anyone would call this a concussion. People with random head trauma may experience headaches for a week or so after the event, but this by itself does not make it a concussion. Trauma is something you know when it happens.

By current definitions, a concussion is a closed head injury causing loss of consciousness, amnesia, or a combination of both. Various intensity grades can be applied, but if you lack the cardinal characteristics, you did not suffer a concussion.
