Default Injured 4 Days Ago - No Insurance-Need a CT scan?

Hi all,

4 Days ago banged my head going up stairs (low ceiling). Currently unemployed and without health insurance I havent gone to the ER.

Its been 4 days and I havent had any major headaches or vomiting. But I am, for lack of a better term "out of it". Anxiety and a general feeling of blah. Cant concentrate - And pins and needles in my left foot.

Yesterday I went to a walk-in clinic and the doc did general tests, checking my eyes, walking, finger to nose, etc and he said I was fine - did not think I have concussion. He said I did not need a CT scan.

I guess my question is - seeing it has been 4 days out - is a CT scan neccesary? Obviously it will cost a fortune at the ER. Am I in jeopardy health wise if I do not get one?

Thanks for your input folks.
