Neurological Examination After Head Trauma

Why are Neurological Examination Important to have after you've sustained any kind of traumatic brain injury.

Hi Dr. Eric Guillemette, 😃, I researcched that even a mild second concussion can be harmful when it happens soon after the first one that's still causing issues. So, like, how hard of an impact or how many g-forces applied the second time around would start to cause problems?

Actually, during our ivy final tennis league quarterfinals my teammate whacked me accidentally but hard on the right side of my head with her racket as she fiercely swung at the ball. I felt a little dizzy but taking it lightly I kept playing. However, just 4 days later in the semis, she smacked the very same spot on my noggin again😰 with the racket. It's been 1 month and I'm still feelin' all woozy and cruddy. I'm worried about getting a second impact so soon after the
The fact i find that a twin trauma soon after the first one can potentially cause permanent damage due to possibly killing of some precious neurons due to lowered energy levels in the brain is freaking out...😬

Can you estimate how much force the second impact in during the symptomatic phase, perhaps in g-forces, in that closed proximity period, at which a second concussion can pose cumulatively harmful effects so that i can assure myself that I didn't take on way worse invisible harm, ya feel? 🙄

Hi Dr. Eric Guillemette Im'ma from (MIT) university freshmen. I've encountered a recent incident that has left me in need some advice . I wanted to share that I recently experienced a concussion 3 days ago, and unfortunately, it has occurred again in the same right side. I'm wondering, would a sudden sideways motorbike collision with a cycle at a speed of 30 km/hr., causing a forceful movement of my torso to lurch and my head in relative (lateral flexion) in the same area of the first concussion, can it potentially cause damage to the previously concussed neurons ? very worried since i am difficulty speaking like finding right words and articulating fluently and even slight difficulty understanding words and its been 1 month no recovery? i initially have no symptoms after the incidence like nausea or dizziness, does it cause any permanent deficits or it is just temporary ? and Does this injury lead to the diminution of a handful of neurons?
