Hi I fell over a week ago tomorrow backwards and hit the back of my head on concrete. I have a cut minor that s scabbing up stopped bleeding that night and a big bump and feels really bruised all around the back of my head. My head keeps making a crunch like noise and I have to take painkillers as its so sore as healing. I notice tonight under my eyes look black (I don t normally get bags). Do you think it s just the healing process?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As the mechanism of injury suggest that you had an internal bleeding in the head due to which the area surrounding the eye got black. As the brain healing occurs on its own and due to the physiological protective process you may feel some headaches and pain as well. But it is purely a healing process. In case if these symptoms worsen then meeting a neurologist and getting an MRI will be of helpful. But in most of the cases in my clinical practice it is just a healing process and subsides in 7-10 days of time. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
