Got to go kart accident eight days ago (last Thursday). You have a headache now? Wearing a helmet go kart
Came home from my parents the next day and have been here ever since. They checked my eyes (pupils) and they are beautiful. I walk and talk very well, but my neck and a headache (lower headache) just above the neck. They take me to the doctor or the hospital because I freak whenever I get hurt, and they do not think it's a big problem. I was taking Tylenol 1500 mg per day up there one day, the pain hurts me (headaches), but not as bad as one day. I'm afraid, I just want to get better, and want nothing major wrong wrong. Please help
OK ... headaches immediately after trauma (accident karting) is significant.
If you dialed 911 and I witnessed your accident, you would have been to the hospital as soon as my driver we could have had.
If you feel as if you have a headache that, at the base of your skull, but on top of your spine ... a bit like you feel as if your brain is sucked into the spine ... It is a big deal. You may have fractured or your C1 or C2 fracture and either could have easily caused damage to the spinal cord. If your headache is not so bad when you lie down, but it is instantly bad when you sit up .... is a leak of CSF (cerebro-spinal fluid). This will kill you if you do not get it treated. The treatment is fairly easy, an anesthesiologist will do a thing called blood stain.
Short break your neck and die within a few hours, you may also have what is called a coup against a sudden ( http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/trauma ... ) ... I put the link there so that your parents can see for themselves how it can be serious.
If you have a hematoma (bleeding) on the brain, you may damage the brain of the contract or die. It is also called off and die "syndrome. Natasha Richardson is to die for that!
Now, with respect to your parents. If you have medical insurance, your parents are not doctors and have had a significant impact ...... there's really no reason you should not have the urgency.
The mechanism of injury, which means that the likely result of this accident .... is that you can easily have a broken neck, your brain bruised, punched your mother (the protective covering of the brain and spinal cord).
Verification PEARL (students are equal and reactive) does not indicate one way or another a mother torn ... and if your parents are not professionals, they should not be checking you out for trauma ... that's how people die!
You'll feel better!
Go see a doctor immediately. You can have a concussion or a spinal cord injury. You know your body, and if something does not feel well, go see a doctor.
you need to enter and have it checked by her ... Perhaps nothing, and it can be serious .... take nothing but Tylenol is not good for your system long term ... it now checks
you must first stop taking Tylenol because too much can cause bleeding. Second, you need to get a CT scan and MRI. You could have a very serious anuresym is enlarged vein could rupture, it could be a post-designed is really not bad, it is much juice from headaches and pain after head injury. go to the doctor immediately head injury are nothing to play with!
