Bang on the head

[beansprout55]

Hi,

Quick post just wondering if any HCP's on at the mo who may be able to to offer some advice.... doing a 10 hour shift so can't see a Gp today.

Hubby and I banged heads VERY hard last night but it got me right on the temple. It was excruciatingly painful, unlike most knocks to the head I've had. The severe pain went after a few minutes but the area is super super tender to touch and I still have a headache and can feel an ache there. I know it's probably OK, I don't think I'm concussed, just wanted to be sure I should waist anyone's time at the mo getting it looked at. It's probably just bruised right?

To be sure I shouldn't waste anyone's time*

Sorry - I always send before checking!

Anyone?

Not a HCP but how are you feeling now?

Temple still aches 24 hours later without touching, very very sore to touch. I think a GP would just laugh at me tbh... super anxious about it though.

You could do 111 online or 111 via phone if worried?

My non- HCP advise if no concussion symptoms then I would not be worried - but I would take painkillers regularly and contact 111 if pain persists after painkillers or other symptoms

I always thought the temple was quite a vulnerable spot? I think I'd get checked out if it's still hurting. Hope you're OK.

How are you today op?

Still the same! Headache still too, and the muscles surrounding my TMJ both sides are oddly SO sore - washing my face was painful!!
Will get it checked x thanks x
