Is Getting Hit On Head On Site Of Childhood Accident A Cause For Worry?

was hit with hard blunt object on the top of my head on the right side twice a little over a week ago. I was never seen by a Dr for this or didnt lose consciousness. It brought me to my knees and left a large lump. I dont feel a knot anymore,but is still extremely tender to the touch. I have always suffered migraines so that wouldnt be a knew symptom. I was in a car accident when I was a baby and had a fractured skull. Should I be concerned?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi thereg
it is over a weak now and you are fully conscious. the only thing to be weary of is a chronic subdural hematoma. This is a very slow collecting blood in the envelops of your Brain. this is revealed by constant chronic headaches, mood swings and irritability and late stage will cause loss of consciousness. Should you start experiencing any of these symptoms mentioned above you will need to see a doctor urgently.
