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.

2 days ago fell on the back of my head (on AstroTurf). Didn't black out. Only symptoms now are fatigue, stiff neck muscles & blood in mucus when I blow my nose. Could the blood be a skull fracture? Should I go to ER?
