Presumably you only mean sports. I'm tall. My first big concussion was so stupid. I had a box of stuff in the floor near the wall under a heavy wall-mounted shelf. Stood up after picking something out of the box and smashed my head.
Since then I've had several minor ones, but as stated elsewhere, you become more easily susceptible to the effects of a concussion from even relatively small impacts after a big one. The others include helping someone move something in their garage and hitting my head on a ceiling mounted HVAC unit, stepping out of the shower (I've got terrible eyesight) and hitting the top of the door frame, those sorts of things.
You could have those happen and be fine but it seems because they happened after the bigger concussion, I'll have symptoms again, especially sensitivity to low refresh rate screens or PWM.
I try to avoid it, but I'm not going to avoid living my life. And I'm not going to stop being tall.
So if medicine can help protect my brain, I'm interested in it.
Same, I’m regrettably at an average of one concussion per year. Some described as mild or moderate TBI.
I would be very cautious after a concussion. I had one in one month (odd to pass out and not fall down) then another the following month (slip and fall) then became disabled for about a year.
I’ve read that supplementing with high dose creatine and exercise can help post concussion or with migraines which I regularly get now.
