A member asked:
Years ago i slipped on ice and fell backwards hitting my head on the pavement. i went to the gym right after and didn't notice any concussion symptoms, likely hood of long term damage?

You would know by now if you developed any adverse effects. The fact that you went to the gym with no headache, dizziness , bleeding, or any other side effects, reveals that no serious damage was done.

Clearly it was a mild in-consequential event as it happened “years ago”. But what problems have prompted your concern?
