A member asked:
Hit my head pretty good on a shelf about a week ago, left a divot. didnt lose consciousness or anything, but was a bit disoriented and have been having stabbing headaches on and off, especially if the area is touched. does this need medical attention?

It is rather common to have some pain subsequent to a head injury, and you may have suffered a Grade One concussion. Post-traumatic headaches can be persistent and it might benefit you to consider seeing your doctor if these become daily and more intense.
