Brain Injury: When to Go to the Hospital

I hit my left temple on the counter but i didn’t hit it that hard it was kind of light but it was enough for me to say ouch . Now the left side hurts a little bit like a tickling sensation. Should I be worried???

I hit my forehead off of the wall days ago and only now about 4 days after have developed a hard lump under my eye, as well as a black eye that’s only getting worse. I know the blood is draining from the egg on my head I’m more worried about the hard lump?

hi, I was punched in the head and after a week when i press on a spot on the side of my head it hurts alot. I got a CAT scan and they found nothing wrong at the time and it's been a week and I still feel pain and headache.

So I was being stupid and jumped on my bed in a hurry to lay down with my phone in my hand, and it landed on my left temple. I didn’t have any headaches, vertigo or any of the symptoms listed above. I also noticed that when I bit down, just messing around to relive the pain on my temple it started to hurt even worse. I don’t know if it means anything, all I know is it was hurting for a while; and now the pain is gone.

my neck has been hurting for 3 days should i go to the hospital?

I was putting rubbish out 2 days ago and when coming back in I slipped and whacked front of head on door frame.. I was dazed for about a minute!!! No bruise or swelling but my forehead is sore to touch!! Keep Getting pains in front of my head and weird like numbness in my face!!!

I fell face first down some concrete stairs today and I’m not sure if I lost consciousness. Other than scrapes and swelling on my face my limbs are so sore. I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck! Will this pass or should I make an appointment

Eight days ago I was gardening and slipped and fell on a mossy rock. My yard is full of very large, sharp boulders. I hit my bum (very large bruise still there) and then hit the back of my head on another rock. I think I might have passed out. Cannot recall. My head did not really hurt until a few days ago, and now I am getting moderate headaches in the area that I hit. Should I worry? I did not go to the doctor after the fall. I am 58 years old.

Hello ... I was wanting to ask a question.. About two or three months ago I passed out in my kitchen , I tried to catch myself on the counter but I was already to far back to reach it . I remember going down and I could hear the sound of my head hitting the concert floor. It sound like a gun shot . It knocked in out for a few seconds . I should have gone to the hospital . My husband was a work when it happened but I told him the next day . I didn’t feel right after I fell but I just keep going . About a week later I started talking and seeing people that wasn’t there .. My husband thought it was the medication I was taking . Now I don’t see people but every once in a while I get a sharp pain in my head . It has been awhile since I fell but do I still need to have a MRI or C T scan

I hit side of my head and now I hit hurts when I try to yawn

I had an accident at work just over a week ago... My workmate and I were having trouble retracting a pump truck from beneath an empty pallet, so I stood on the pallet in the hope that my weight would hold it in place whilst my buddy pulled the pump truck out (we’ve done this before and it works!)... However, this time it didn’t work - he ended up yanking the entire pallet from beneath me - I lost my balance and fell backwards, landed flat on my back and smacked my head on the concrete floor. I felt really sick and dizzy for a minute or two, but then I made myself get up as if nothing had happened. I have felt OK-ish since... I think the back of my head hurts slightly and I might be a bit more forgetful - but I don’t know if I’m imagining it, because of the accident. Should I see a doctor? It’s now nine days since I fell and I’ve survived so far! I’m a 51 year old lady, in good health.

I have been hit on the head by my boyfriend so I'm having pains on my head It is even swollen I can't even swallow the areas around my ears are also swollen

Hello,

My Wifes hatchback supports gave out and the hatch came down on the back of her head pretty hard. No symptoms except she is developing a slight black eye on her right eye 48 hours later. I know getting hit the frontal area of the skull will cause black eyes, but I wasn't aware a blow to the back could. Anything to be concerned about? Thank you!

Someone rear ended me the 8th and the dr told me I’ve had a concussion. Been vomiting off and on since the accident. I’m very wobbly, can’t focus. Today if I close my eyes or focus it’s worse. And there’s like a vibration (tremble maybe) throughout me. I couldn’t pass the finger to nose drunk test I think he dr. Office Friday but it seems worse now. I go back to the dr. Tomorrow, can I wait or should I go to the Er today?

I hit my right temple on the cushioned frame on the car getting back in the car - it hurts and now have a headache should I go to the walk-in or the ED

I was rolling down a grass hill and there were these rock stairs and my head hit the rock stairs and my head hurts and I’m dizzy with a headache and my neck hurts also my friends were there and they said they heard a like loud noise when I hit my head so what do I do?!

I’m a RN. We have a young person who is a family friend that contacted us for advice. She felt dizzy in her kitchen and before she could sit down on the floor she fell hitting her head hard on a kitchen stool. She had just put something in the microwave so she knows that the conscious seizure she had from the fall lasted 3 1/2 minutes. She didn’t contact us for two days asking for advice. She and her family had determined she has a concussion.
I’m beside myself. She’s in denial that anything could be really badly wrong and even if we pay for the ER visit won’t go. The reason she finally contacted us is because of the residual headache. I need her to understand that she HAS to be seen by a doctor and needs a CT scan at minimum to rule out a bleed.
She claims it isn’t spouse abuse but we know her boyfriend has roughed her up before and he’s not wanting medical involved. We may be able to convince her to go to an urgent care center but he insists he be present at all times. Urgent care won’t have the ability to do a scan. Any suggestions? It’s now been three days.

I'm 72 and fell backward and hit the back of my head on a concrete flower urn. I have a dent in the back of my head. No skin break, no headache or any other problems from the fall. Should I be concerned?
