Had Hit Head Twice. Felt Nauseous, Area Tender And Random Pains. Sore And Cannot Lie On It. Suggest?
Hello,
I hit my head three weeks ago (accidentally rammed the top left side into the top of a boat.). I was fine but sore after. Last week I fell backward while dancing, and hit the floor with the back left side of my head. I was fine except a little nauseas the following day (pupils fine, etc). Its been a week and the area is still incredibly tender and I've felt a couple random twaings of pain. I dont think theres a knot, but I cant see as its covered by my head. Its so sore I cant even lie on it. My doc said not to come in unless I experience neurological symptoms, but I'm worried since its still tender and worried about internal swelling or a blood clot. What should I do?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
It is not right that you need to be investigated only when you develop neurological symptoms.
There are conditions related to head trauma when symptoms develop late in patients.
So, you need non contrast CT Scan of brain to rule out any hemorrhage or fracture in brain.
You can take analgesics tablet with serratopeptidase combinations.
Get well soon.
