Can Soccer Causing Concussions, Image Blurring And Headaches Lead To Brain Damage?
I have a past with concussions. I ve had two concussions and a post-concussion syndrome. Recently I was tripped at my soccer game and I fell on my head. I didn t black out, but I saw black, blue, and white images. I was also in shock afterwards for a few minutes. I haven t gotten checked out, because I don t think I have another concussion, but if I do have constant headaches and if I do have another concussion and it goes untreated and I continue with soccer what are my risks of brain damage like falling into a coma or dying?
