Hit head - unable to sleep Posted: 02-09-08 02:48am
About 3 days ago I hit my head pretty
good. What had happened is while at worked
I attempted to get on to a scissor lift. I
put my hands on either side of the latter
and put my foot on the 3rd step and with a
quick lunge sent myself upwards. What I
neglected to do was see the safety rail
next to the steps and hit my head on it. I
hit my forehead, nose, and lower face all
in one go. I hit my face so hard the pores
on my face were literally bleeding. My
face tingled and kinda of burned at the
same time. After a short bit my face felt
like normal I took some advil and shrugged
it off.
Since all of this I have been unable to
sleep. It is currently 2:46AM. Also
randomly parts or my body will tense up or
hurt. At times my lower jaw also tingles.
Is this soemthing normally associated with
getting hit in the head? How long can I
expect these things to keep happening?
Aside from going to the doctors is there
anything I can do to help myself? What
other things are possible from hitting
your head?

You may just have insomnia from the
worrying that something may be wrong,
whether you think that or not. Your jaw
may hurt from a pinched nerve from it, or
from a bad tooth. You could have pinched a
nerve in your neck from the compression.
Try a chiropractor. If not, go for some
icy hot on your neck (from base of your
skull to your shoulders) and rub on either
side of your spine, NEVER directly on your
spine.
