Hit with tennis ball...?!


Question: Hit with tennis ball...?
Hey, this guy at school threw a tennis ball really hard at the back of my neck, close to my head. But it hit my upper neck. Im just really worried, could it have caused any damage to the cerebellum, which could lead to cognitive difficulties? Or would even a very hard throw to the back of the head with a tennis ball not damage the cerebellum?

More than likely the worst that could happen is it could cause a mild concussion. It could take awhile for the swelling to go down. After that, you should be fine. If not, you might want to see a neurologist.
