Head: Held up by neck. Head is hard, but internal superficial bleed  possible. Neck blunt or crashing injury can  strain spinal cord or exiting nerves. Always serious injury, recommend go be evaluated.

Concussion: The brain is encased in the skull. When you get a hit to the skull the delicate brain tissue responds with pain. Concussions are graded I,II,III. You likely have a Grade ll concussion.

Consult a Doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

i hit my head a month ago was leaned over trash can stood up real fast hit head on cabnet no black out or bump worried about chronic subderal hematomo?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Are you having weakness on one side of your body or seizures? If you are not, I wouldn't worry about a subdural hematoma. You're a 27-year-old, which isn't the typical type of person we see with chronic subdural hematomas. They're more often seen in babies, the elderly, and alcoholics. Hope that helps!

Question 4

i got a concussion 5 weeks ago and hit my head again today (back of the head) by kneeling and then getting up and hitting cabinet door. is this dangerous to hit head again so soon? i just got a headache in the spot that i hit today.

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Most head strikes do not end up in concussions,  it since your 1st one did, your brain is still sensitive for several months. The 2nd hit you described does NOT sound dangerous, but more like hitting a ‘sore’ part of the body. Physical pain, but not damage! In the meantime, follow a schedule, get proper rest, exercise, eat healthy, avoid alcohol and sedating medications (unless prescribed).

Question 5

hit my head 6 months ago, busted it open. after that when i turned my neck i would hear a crunching in my ears, it's been 6 months and still feeling an abnormal cracking from time to time and now my ears click when i swallow?

Accepted Answer
