How Long Does Bleeding In The Brain Take To Recover?

Hello, I recently had an accident on my longboard, I flew off and ended up landing on my head/clavicle area. I've now got a fractured clavicle and I had a CAT SCAN that showed my brain was bleeding a bit. Before this accident, I regularly smoked weed. How long would it be safest to wait before smoking again?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I will need to know the exact scan report before I can tell you when the bleeding in the brain will resolve. It depends on factors like where is the bleed, how much is the bleed etc. Since these factors are missing in your message, I cannot tell you more exact duration of recovery. But know that every patient has a different recovery time. As for the smoking of weed, I would suggest that you avoid it at least till the hemorrhage has recovered completely. Do upload the report so that a further information can be given.

Best wishes!
