What Causes Pain In Head After An Injury?
I fell 10 days ago on outside steps that were ice and snow covered. I heard a crack in my head when it happened. I got help from my HELP PROGRAM to get me into the house. I did not go to the hospital as I wasn t dizzy. I still hurt some and wonder if I should get it checked out?

Dear welcome to hcm and thanks for choosing us.
As a practising physician I always advise my patients to go for a x ray or CT SCAN Of head to rule out injury to brain in case of injury to head specially due to fall. Even if you were not dizzy at the time of injury, you should have gone to the doctor when you continued to have pain or discomfort.
I would suggest you to visit a doctor now. And rule out brain injury. I hope my reply will benefit you. Please write to hcm or me for follow up queries. Hit a thanks. Regards
