What Causes Pain At The Base Of Skull In A Patient After An Accident?

Hello. I am a 54 year female. In the past year i have noticed that i am losing the strength in my hans and i have become increasingly clumsy. I lose my balance and i have fallen twice in the last six weeks . The fall i took last night was horrible my face scraping on concrete. Also, i have been getting a sharp pain which comes on as fast as it goes that completely stops me in my tracks. The pain is on my right side of my head basically at the base of my skull. I am very concerned. Please help me. Thank you, Peg
