I hit my head on a shelf while cleaning. there's swelling, a small cut from the shelf corner, and a headache (i've one all day tho, and concus hist). i plan to wait for symptoms. is that ok? should i not go to martial arts class for a bit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The described injury should be self limited, not a big deal. You can attend the martial arts class but not participating in sparring for a week or so.
