Is MRI Scan Necessary For Minor Head Injury?
Hi I hit my head on a table at the laundry mat and weeks later I can see one of my veins go in and out on my forehead. I don't have any other symptoms but I wanted to know if I need an MRI . It stops and goes. I don't have pain brutus I feel it right on my forehead like a heartbeat.
