A member asked:
Can a person have a subdural hematoma or skull fracture for a month with only symptoms being side headache and back head pain? got black eye month ago
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, in part because the mental status of the person, and therefore their ability to report pain, may be altered as well. There is also a condition known as a delayed subdural hematoma which can occur after the original injury. Don't hesitate to be seen and thoroughly evaluated.
