are you talking about major concussions or minor concussions? If you've had ten major concussions, thats not very good.

I've had like 3 from motocross, 1 was quite serious, 6 weeks off, but then like 4 months ago I was walking across the school court and someone kicked a basketball at my head and I got a bad as one, was running into things, sprained neck, off school for 3 weeks and couldn't do anything for months.

3 major, 10+ minor. some say you don't have to worry about the minor ones, but others say they might put you at risk for dimentia.

Depends on how bad the concussion is. All of mine have been very minor, but I had like 1 bad one.

HAHA gettign a bump on your head isnt a concussion, if you have had 10 you will be having function problems, i had 2 this winter and i felt retarded, the last one put me out for the season because the dock said i could get another 75% easier and i could die. Head injuries arent cool, dont brag that just means you suck.

just cause you hit your head and get a headache doesnt mean you have a concussion.

you really dont know what your talking about i got 3 major ones in a month and a half. there is no way anyone not even the best doctors in the world can tell you that if you get another one you will have mental problems they can predict yes but saying if you get one more you will be fucked for life is bullshit. know one can knows for sure how many more it will take maybe it will just be one more or maybe it will be 20 more.

to offense, but judging by your grammar it appears those 3 concussions did affect you and you should probably hold off for a while on getting another one.
