There are
professional football players who have won great awards, but they have also
suffered incredible injuries. Some of the most severe are through concussions.
Basically, when a person sustains a concussion, they have a certain degree of
pain, a certain amount of problems, some neurologic changes, but it’s hard to
measure what the long-term effects are. Once a person has a concussion, we know
this. There is a greater risk of multiple concussions and potential brain
damage. Rest can help, but not in all cases.
