Default Where i hit my head is getting swollen again 9 months later

its weird. the exact point of impact where i hit my head swelled up to like 1/3 the size of the original bump on my head. it has a sore touch to it. i may have aggrivated it alittle bit after i noticed it came back by massaging it but im wondering why after 9 months my bump is coming back

i didnt hit my head agian anyone know?

i know this sounds crazy but could it be a fluid/puss build up and i should take a sterile clothes pin and poke the center of the bump and try drain out anything. i dont wanna mess around and give myself menagitis though. seriously how much of an option should this be?

Default Do not attempt to pierce the 'bump'

No.
Do not do this.
Someone will be along here shortly to perhaps suggest what it might be, how to deal with it.
Meanwhile, simply no, do not attempt to pierce the bump.
Ill-advised that would be.

I know you may think this an obvious idea but is it possible that there has always been a bump there since your accident and it is only now you have noticed?

Also, when we break a bone, new bone forms/grows around it as a protection, this can take months.
It may very well still be sore from 9 months ago, nerves are everywhere and nerve damage is often everlasting.

However if it is a soft lump, or if you are experiencing new symptoms then go to a GP.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.

I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.

I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
