Recent Head Truma -> Tender Left Side of Skull , Spinning Posted: 06-06-07 00:04am
Hello,
Three weeks ago, I was assaulted. I was
hit in the mouth while not looking, and
hit the ground face first with my
forehead. I was unconscious for a short
period of time.
I was taken to the hospital where they did
a cat scan, and found nothing. They simply
stitched up my mouth and forehead and sent
me off. They claimed the unconscious was
mostly alcohol in my system related.
So, still three weeks later, I have a very
tender left side of my skull, toward the
frontal lobe. To the touch, it feels
tender, almost like it's my scalp/hair
hurting.
My other which symptom worries me the most
is spinning and dizziness, when I move
from a laying down position to upright.
Every morning since the attack, when I get
up from sleep I feel the symptom. It is a
slow spinning, like the room is spinning,
it only last maybe two to four seconds
then it's gone. I can also reproduce the
symptom if I put my head between my feet
for a long period of time and then quickly
raise my head. It seems to be caused by
any rapid movement of the head, most
likely related to the blood flowing.
Thanks for any help, comments, and
suggestions.
I am a male, 24, general good heath.

So the tenderness in my skull is at the
location of the coronal suture and further
back, following down TOWARD the super
temporal line.
