Can repeatedly bumping your head cause brain damage?

Depends on how hard the 'bumping'. Simple hits on a flat side of a door or desk would not cause brain damage. If you hit the corner, it still wouldn't cause B.D. but it would certainly cause more outer damage, bruise, cuts etc. The only way to cause brain damage would be to hit your head with tremendous force that your brain actually moves within your skull, as might happen in a car accident, a fall or repeated hits to the head, playing football for example.
