[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where’s OP? Without knowing the timing of these three concussions, it’s just speculation. [/quote]
3 concussions starting from age 5, and 2 more 5 yrs apart (not op just going off the last page)[/quote]

Op here. No, three total. One at 5 when a soccer ball was kicked into their head, one at 9 or 10, and one recently. The one at nine involved colliding into another kid.[/quote]

Personally, if it were me, I’d get a second opinion based on what you’ve described here. I’d also want clarification on what he can and can’t do and for how long.

The one person I know who is suffering from long term consequences of concussions got his playing basketball (elbow to head), playing pickleball (he slipped), and going down a water slide. But these were all in relative quick succession, and I believe part of the issue is that he didn’t let the first concussion heal before getting the second one. Then he just became super susceptible to the slightest head contact (hence the water slide).

It’s obviously a major concern and so I’d want more information from the doctor. [/quote]
