Hey guys

Been awhile since I posted.

I'm doing so much better now!

Little jolts, movements etc are not bugging me anymore. It is a slow process but I am getting better each week, month etc.

However, today I was getting into a ute and my car is low so I am used to stepping "down" into the car. The ute I have to climb up and I wasn't used to it. I kinda jumped into the seat a little as I had to get "up" into the seat if that makes sense, but I forgot about my head and I smacked my head onto the car door frame. It wasn't the hardest knock but there was some "movement" and force from my half jumping into the seat.

I immediately felt stressed and my head hurt. I tried not to worry but its been 3 hours and I still feel a bit dizzy/tired.

Is it likely that I have sustained a concussion from this? SHould I go to ER?

What will the ER do? What damage can they fix? If they said you were fine, would you believe them?

Really,

As davOD said, What can the ER do?

How will any diagnosis, either way, change how you live your day tomorrow?

True I don't usually go to the ER anymore and infact have not been for 8 months

That's fair. I guess I just don't want another one ever again haha.

If you don't want another one, take steps to reduce your risk.

You cannot reduce your risk after the event.

If you suffer a head impact, getting a diagnosis does not change the effect of the impact.

Worrying about it being a concussion only causes your brain to be stressed by the anxiety.

Hey Mark

I have taken many steps to reduce risk but it seems like sometimes you cannot avoid it. Last night during a physio adjustment, the physio went a bit hard and when he drove onto me the back of the table was sticking up and the back of my head hit the table

In my opinion, the physio was out of line doing a chiro procedure. .
