I banged my head a week ago ...

[ouchibangedmyhead]

And it still hurts. Straight into the side of the kitchen utility door as is slammed against my foot and into my skull/forehead/eyebrow.

At the time is steady myself and worked out if I was ok and went to work and put on a useless ice pack.

It was very tender to touch and had a headache but no huge lump. It hurt for days and still hurts today and is still tender to touch and I still have a headache and now a noticeable ridge in my brow.

Do I just need to wait it out?

No you need to get it checked out op. Lumps are ok, dents less ok.

No! Bloody hell.

You have a noticeable ridge in your brow? Can you explain that a little more?

Ah ok - maybe a week is too long.

You can't see it but I can feel it. And it's sort of a vertical dent where I image in the corner/edge of the door hit me. Total idiot moment.

It's really hard to tell if it's a raised lump or a dent as convex/concave are difficult to differentiate by touch

I feel ok generally - except the headache.

Thanks for replying!

Get checked out. You should have been already!

It sounds like concussion op. Call your gp in the morning xx

You need to be looked at.

Get it checked. Google subdural haematoma. It could be nasty.

Will call gp in morning! Thanks all

I had a similar accident in the kitchen some years ago - I cut my finger rather badly, passed out and smashed my forehead on the edge of a worktop as I went down like a felled tree. This was in the early 1980's and the dent under my eyebrow is still there.

Hope your headache wears off soon.

Sorry when I said No i meant dont wait it out! Any update?

This is what 111 is there for @ouchibangedmyhead

Do it now.

I agree you should get checked out.

I fainted and banged my head two weeks ago and managed to cut my head open by my eyebrow on my kitchen table. I am finding that I am occasionally still feeling dizzy and have a headache on and off everyday since.

So should you if you're still dizzy and headachey after a fortnight!

Please go and get it checked OP and ideally a scan. DH had subdural haematoma from bashing his head on a sloped ceiling.

@sueelleker I did go to a&e when it happened so presumed that this was normal?
