Flipped Four Wheeler. Pressure On Body, Black Eye, Bruised Hand And Shoulder, Rolled Ankle. Large Knot On Head. Should I Be Concerned?
I flipped my 4 wheeler on monday night after a few drinks ( wasn't much alcohol but i did drink it fast ) I remember going out for a ride and then a moment of heavy pressure on my body and then I was on my back looking down at the 4 wheeler on its side, thought i just tipped it over. when I arrived back to the house the 4 wheeler was heavily damage and show signs of tumbling all the way over. when i woke up the following morning I had a black eye, bruised hand and shoulder and a rolled ankle, now 5 days after a large knot has formed on my head. should I be concerned or just give it a few days and see if it goes down?
these are signs of bleeding and hematoma formation in my opinion you need to see the doctor to see as if the bleeding is still going on under the skin there can be other complications need immediate attention to consult doctor in enmergrnct in my view
