You’re saying this so well

[@RobinPalmerTV]

A lot of people sustain spinal CSF leaks after head injuries and vertigo/dizziness is a very common symptom of the condition. Everyone with a head injury needs an assessment for a spinal CSF leak within two weeks of the accident.

Took a hit to the front of my head really hard. Seemed ok for about 2 1/2 weeks, now feeling slight tightness around front of head at times wanting to take advil. Also really tired and sleepy halfway through a routine day. Going to make an appt with a neurologist.

I hit the back of my head when I fainted 2 weeks ago on my kitchen floor. I've had an MRI and a CT scan which show that my brain is normal. I am still very dizzy. Is hitting the back of the head also considered vestibular concussion?

[@LOYALFITNESSYT]

Yes I think so.

[@racheldehaan2760]

[@garydunn3037]

I bashed my head on a kitchen wall door around 18 months ago, and it will not heal. I have a hole in my head, and I cover it was sterile plasters, but when I peel them off, there is blood and a clear liquid on them. I have since developed balance issues, and have fallen three or four times, so now I walk with a stick. Should I be concerned? Is it a Brain Injury? I have had my Mother Pass Away, in the last 12 months, and I have had to move out into an Apartment, I have literally put my life on hold, and have not got around to getting the hole in my head seen to. Can you help me?

[@garydunn3037]

Incidently, I am type 2 diabetic, is that a factor in why my head won't heal?

[@LOYALFITNESSYT]

Please go see someone

[@garydunn3037]

@@LOYALFITNESSYT OKay Thanks.

[@yuvraj_0_07]

Does it show in ct scan of brain.. Please tell me ma'am

[@catmando268]

Most often, the brain injuries dont show on a CT scan or even an MRI. But it should always be done in case it shows something.

[@COD_Oddjob]
