Hitting your head

[830murray]

Hi I had my surgery to fix my acm last year and ive been doing good. I hit my head yesterday and I am still getting dizzy from it...I hit it half on where i still have skull and half off of it...I do have a good bump emerging from both parts but I was wondering if thats normal or not...and i do not have insurance either.

As everyone has responded to you above, I am glad you got an answer. Even though everything seems ok, keep a detailed pain/symptom journal to help you with any future appointments. Also, allow yourself to rest as much as you can and do not do anything strenuous. I do hope you continue to be well.

   Hi  and welcome  to the Chiari forum.

I  have  to  agree with Nellan12  even  without  INS  go  get  checked out....

If you happen  to be  close to a  hospital  where a Chiari specialist works, you can   go  to the  clinic and they  often  do  rounds in the clinic and could  be called since  you have had surgery..,so  it is a better choice then  not  going  at all.....

  And as  Nellan12 said, keep us posted on your progress  and what you  find  out.

Hi and welcome to our Chiari community, know it's hard when you don't have insurance, but if you are still dizzy and have a bump, I think it would be best to go to the ER I am not a Doctor by far !!! Put rite now you need to put your health before everything..I also know that hospitals have special programs and assistance for people with no insurance...so go get it checked out don't waite... Good luck keep us posted on how your doing...I will say a prayer for you.
