[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is very risk averse.

I have participated in a risky sport (equestrian) since I was 8.  I love it and it is a huge part of my life.

I have had many concussions, including two fairly severe TBIs.

For an unrelated reason, I have had several MRIs in the last year.  My brain still looks good in every respect except the benign, asymptomatic brain tumor I have that is completely unrelated to concussions.

During this time I talked with several top neurologists and neurosurgeons about my concussion history, and they said that CTE is not so much likely when you have a few large concussive events as when you have repeated smaller impacts, often not even diagnosable.  The cited football and headers in soccer as strong risks, and my 4-5 bad accidents as a much lesser risk.

These people claiming they stop at one are misled.

Dont come to DCUM for risk advice.  I rode my horse this morning!

OP this post is beyond stupid.

This person does not have a Medical degree your son's doctor does.

All medical advice ie people who have actually studied the brain would concur no more sports!

This pos is an absolute idiotic selfish post ignore it.[/quote]

Um, no.

I will take the medical advice of my HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL neurologist (he teaches there, not a degree) over your Internet MD.  I guarantee you aren’t a neurologist and certainly are not as good as he is![/quote]
