Concussion

Bumped my head(badly) on the sharp corner of a shelf yesterday. After hours in the ER and many tests it was diagnosed as a concussion. Sent home-thankfully and told to rest,etc. Can't do much.

Be careful when moving around. Depending on the degree of a concussion, strange things can happen without much warning. Sorry this happened to you.

Now me?? Been a klutz all my life, but I must have a very thick head. The number of things I managed to find with my head, first, is too numerous to mention. Lots of sewing done on my head, but no concussions.

Get well now,

I am so sorry this has happened to you. I hope you feel better and have no further issues.

I am not really sure how the diagnosis of concussion is made? How does it differ from just a bad bump or blow to the head?

Be careful about dizziness, don't stand up or turn around too quickly!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I fell on black ice a few years ago. I had a concussion with bleeding in the brain. I lost my sense of smell and taste for a year. For a few weeks I had post concussion syndrome which was characterized by dizziness and migraine headaches. I was out of work for six weeks. Take things slowly to be sure all is OK.

After a long time in the ER and a CAT Scan that is what the ER doctor said and it was my discharge diagnosis.

The diagnosis of concussion came from the reading of the CT, which obviously showed a mild injury to the brain.

I am still not doing well. I can tell by what I am typing and my spelling.

@Group 5 minus 1...please do not hesitate to call your physician or whomever treated you initially for the concussion. You can never be too careful with this type of injury.

Please let us know how you are feeling....
