Are Headaches Normal After A Head Injury?
I fell on large rocks yesterday. I fell face first and hit a rock just below my eye, then fell down the rest of the rocks and hit the back of my head fairly hard on the concrete driveway. I can t seem to get rid of the headache from the fall. Is it normal to have the headache for a while or should I be concerned?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From what sounds like a pretty significant fall on a hard surface where your skull may have been bounced around you may have acquired 2 things that should be evaluated by a neurologist
1. Mild traumatic brtain injury (concussion).
2. Post Concussive Syndrome (PCS).
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
