Headache from accident

[Justalittlepatience]

Three years ago, I had an accident with a piece of wood falling down on my head. Ever since I have had headaches on and off. To relieve it, I have to put my hand on the front of my head and make a horizontal twisting motion until I hear something snap on top of my skull. Where does the snapping sound come from, I'm guessing fractured skull. What can I do to get rid of this headache, rather than just take an Advil. Another question is how can this affect me when I get older. Thanks

Hi,
There is a possibility of skull fracture. Usually blunt injuries to the head result in linear skull fracture or a depressed fracture. A CT scan can diagnose skull fracture with accuracy.Complications of skull fractures can be seizures and infection.

Hi,
You say the injury was 3 years back so i feel this may not be the sole reason for your on & off headache, are you going through work pressure at office as tension headache can be on & off. when pain is intolerable you can have tablets.Also get an x-ray done and consult your doctor .
