A member asked:
I hit my temple on a coat hanger at work yesterday fairly hard enough that it really hurt twice in the same spot scared i have done something ?

Nothing serious: Very unlikely that you caused serious injury even if you hit the same area with a coat hanger 10 times. It's painful because the soft tissue is injured,not the brain.
