Default update on concussion/hematoma

went to primary dr yesterday. He says he's not sure that it was a concussion in the first place (but my husband disagrees), and he said I have a hematoma around the impact site. He didn't say what type of hematoma, but he thinks it's causing a tension headache...and that's why I'm in so much pain. I'm still trying to take it easy, and I do have some help, but he said I could do activity as tolerated and it's ok to drive. Is there a board here on hematoma? Thanks for all your responses. Oh, by the way, I had been Voltaren (NSAID) once a day day for arthritis. He wants me to take it three times per day and alternate with tylenol and take my migraine med (maxalt) if the pain gets really bad. I hate my maxalt because of side effects, so hopefully, I won't need it.

Thanks, again.
