Do you have telehealth? Or a call a nurse as part of our health insurance? Maybe reach out to them and see what they want you to do.
As with all the rest of your friends here, I agree you need to see a doctor. And sooner much more than later. |

If I thought I was in danger or if there was some kind of treatment I needed, I would definitely go. But I just can't spend thousands of dollars on imaging and expose us to Covid to be told to go home and rest, which is exactly what I'm doing anyway. I feel like my symptoms are stable or even slightly better - if they were getting worse, we'd go to ER. I just can't waste that much money or take the risk of us getting sick. Especially now since I can't walk and am dependent on DH - we both need to stay healthy. Please tell me if there's something I'm missing here. I'm getting kind of paranoid that everyone is telling me to go in when I feel like I'm fine as long as things don't get worse. Erica |

Erica, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. I don't have experience with concussions, so no advice to offer. I am a little worried that you're following your doctor's advice but said she's an awful doctor. I hope you're right and feeling better soon.

I hit my head twice in one night on a metal frame and had a headache in one spot for several days. I had a ct scan the next day and everything came back normal. I was given some prescription tylenol. I had no money for the er deductible but I knew I was worth more than a few hundred dollars. This was the week when the mysterious new illness now called covid was being announced. The hospital even offered me a discount after processing my claims. I always think of Natasha Richardson when it comes to head injuries. Some head injuries can cause pain for days or weeks or seem to improve while at the same time are still very serious like subdural hematomas.
I hope you whatever you decide to do, that your recovery is quick. |
