Does Floaters And Ache In Head And Eyelid After An Accident Indicate Concussion?

Im 36 and I have had numerous concussions in the past. Today while playing basketball I took a hard elbow to my left eye. Since then ive had a headache, my eyelid hurts to the touch and im seeing shooting white spots fly by. This took place 7hrs ago. Is it possible I may have gotten another concussion?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Headache and visual problems are minor symptoms of concussion and cannot alon define concussion. If you had another symptoms (nausea, dizziness, amnesia, loss of consciousness etc) you had concussion too. However I suggest you to pay attention because repeated concussions may be a serious condition. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
