Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I had a pretty big head collision with an opposition player during a touch footy game on thursday night. I got a massive egg on my forehead almost immediately and it was quite painful. the other girl seemed to be worse off than me (she didn t come back on to play) but i played the rest of the game. I could hear a clicking noise in my head when i ran but it wasn t too bad. Now, two days later the swelling has gone down but I can feel a dent in my forehead. It is really painful to touch but the weird bit is, when i touch the spot, i actually feel tingling in a completely different spot on top of my head... i also had a really runny nose in the days after and I m feeling a nauseous now (but I m sure these are unrelated). any help or advice would be appreciated thanks!
