Cracked skull or concussion Posted: 01-24-08 03:15am
I cracked my skull in 1997 and had
bleeding on the brain.I played contact
sport in High School and had no
problems.But in my final year,when I was
18, I took a blow on the nose which cause
concusion and was adviced not to play
Rugby again.
My question is,does a skull which was
cracked more than 10 years ago grow back
since I was only 13 years old and could it
really have an effect if I continue to
play contact sport?

If you experienced only a concussion you
can continue playing rugby. But if your
skull has been fractured and bleeding in
the brain, you should refrain from playing
hard sports any more.
