Head slammed on Concrete

last week I was caught in the middle of a fight between several individuals while working security at a night club in Detroit.  Long story short while trying to stop a fight I was slammed to the ground by a person and busted the back of my head on the concrete where there was broken glass and a very dirty surface.  I ended up in the ER with 10 staples to the back of my head.  After falling to the ground I immediately grabbed the back of my head where I had a good 3-4 inch gash and applied direct pressure to stop the bleeding. Since the accident I have been experiencing severe nausea and headaches.  Has anyone else felt this and how long did it last?

Hey Don,

A slight displacement of your top cervical vertebra as the result of your fall may explain your pains.

If you like, Google for 'Atlas adjustment'. On Youtube you'll find a video that explains this when you look for the combination of these words 'atlas orthogonal correction'.

I hop this may help you, best of luck.

I also feel very irritable all the time.  They said at the hospital at the time that the CT scan came out good.  They gave me Vicodin for the pain 10mg every 4 hours.  The nausea feeling goes away when i take the vicodin but i am also afraid that i will get addicted to them.
