subdural hematoma

[patricia0822]

I recently suffered a subdural hematoma to left temporal area after hitting my head post falling from a bike event though I was wearing a helmet. I spent a day an half in the ICU and the released in two days. I am very active,  triathlete and Ironman competitor. What is a reasonable time to wait to resurme my normal activities such as running, biking and swiming? I still feel some pressure on the area of my head but no unbearable pain, just a sensation. I so far have no problems with my memory, I did though when I fell as I could not recall what happened that caused the fall but able to remember everything that I did before.

Hi,
Please check Natasha Richardson autopsy report for location of subdural hematoma.caregiver222 is correct.

You need a follow-up MRI to determine if there is clotted matter remaining.

There is swelling and inflammation with such an injury and ninety days would be a reasonable period for it to subside.

The fact you cannot remember is called "retrograde amnesia" and is common.
