A member asked:

I get headaches every morning between 4-7am, and have pain in both elbows. could they be related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alarm Clock Headache: Highly doubt elbows related to headache BUT the fact you get up between 4-7a with or because of headaches is interesting. Though not the best story I'd like to hear for this but there is a headache type called "The Alarm Clock" headache. You'd need to keep a log of these events to be sure of this diagnosis.

Dr Machanic and another doctor agreed

I was accidentally elbowed hard in the nose yesterday and don't believe it is broke as it never bleed and looks in place just swollen. But have had a headache since then and am sleepy. Could I get a concussion from that type of injury/ impact?
