Doctor??

[Impact55]

Hi I was wondering others opinions if I need a doctor? Today I was working out at the gym with a few friends, and sometimes we wrestle, anyways I was a lot stronger than the guy I was wrestling and the guy before that was equal to my strength so I wasn't used to him being so easier, anyway I ended up smashing my head by tripping I think into the hard wall and experienced like a .5 second black out.. I have a big bump on my head and a huge headache.. the only reason I'm not going to the doctor is b/c I've had minor concussions before from Ice hockey ( actually only 2) and I wasn't advised to see a doctor.. I think the headache is mainly b/c I'm tired and the stress of the head bump, which I don't think is anything serious.

Any time a head injury causes a loss of consciousness and a "huge headache", you should seek medical attention. I am surprised that your wrestling coach did not take you to a hospital immediately after the injury. It isn't as if Tulsa schools have never heard of lawsuits.

No it was at Tulsa Country club in the weight room on the mats with a few friends, I'll see how I feel tommorow, I was talking about Ice hockey where I wasn't directed for attention.

Any nausea?

Ahhh, wrestling with the guys and bumping your head?
Is that gay talk for getting it on with your man and having your head knocked into a wall?

Anyway,
Screw that hospital crap. Even if you've got a mild concussion, what is the hospital going to do? Take an X-ray, charge you $400 for the effort and tell you to get rest?

Save the money, take some aspirin, get some rest.

I don't care about money since my parents would of paid ( I'm 16). But anyways it's fine, and no we are not gay, in fact I have a girlfriend . Yes a little nausea at first but I feel fine as of now. It's actually fun wrestling around , basically we go until someone gives up, I have one loss now . We really got to get bigger mats and not be against a hard wall...

Who ever told you a minor concussion wasn't serious enough to go to a doctor is pretty shady. A head injury that significant can kill you. I would go to the doctor(as much as I despise docotrs).

even though you're feeling well now, you should still go see a doctor, esp since this is now you're third probable concussion, you should probably have a ct or mri by this point, so make an appointment for your own good man, the more concussions that you have the easier it is to get your next one.

Hockey's a rough sport
