Hi. I'm a 15 year old high school athlete who plays volleyball, basketball, and softball. unfortunately those things tend to cause injuries and my parents dont like to take me to the doctor cuz of money reasons.
well recently during my basketball season i got sort of headbutted by another girl durin a game (on the left side of my forehead and it left a bump and a not too norticeable yellowish bruise) and then hit again by the basketball being thrown like a baseball a few minutes later. i didnt get knocked out or throw up after these things but i did start to get really horrible headaches and my memory suffered and concentration and everything was just thrown off. well here i am 4 months later and i still get really bad headaches often and my comprehension skills are horrible. i went to a doctor but he thought it was a fractured skull and thts it but the tests came back negative and tht was it. he didnt do anythin else for us.
previous unchecked head injuries: hit by metal bat full swing by sister, diving board, fell off a coach onto a hard wood floor, dove for a ball in softball and hit my head on the ground, and multiple basketball blows to the head.
if anyone can tell me...
a) if theres something i can do or someone i can see to help me?
b) wats happening to my head?
c) if i should keep playin softball after all this? (its wat season im in right now)
thank you all in advance =)
