I found this site looking for concussion info. basically, I bumped the back of my head today. I've had one concussion a long time ago but I'm really not sure about this time. I'm in a wheelchair, and my brother wanted me to show him how I can lean back on my back wheels. I lost balance a bit and slipped back and the hard area under my head/ neck hit the edge of a table, my brother stopped me falling any more back, thankfully. I'm starting to get pain in that area now and I'm feeling just a little bit tired. but otherwise I feel fine. is the pain coming from my neck? I think I didn't hit hard enough for a concussion and it was the lowest area of my head. Don't know whether to worry though?

Really, the only way to know is to see a doctor, or to take the wait and see approach... If you have bad head pain, trouble speaking, coordination issues, or cannot seem to gather your thoughts I highly recommend seeing a doctor to rule out complications.

Feb 24, 2012 - Slipped on a large puddle of ice at work, hitting the back of my head. No loss of consciousness, so I assumed I'd be back at work within a few days. I was wrong. When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment. |
