If you fracture your skull and the doctor tell you that the bleeding as stop, are you out of damage from it starting back again? He fell backward on the street playing football with his kids last week.
My step son age 40 fracture his skull and he is still have severe pain. They kept his overnight, released him with several medications. A couple of days later he went back because the pain has not stopped, it is worst. They gave him some new medications and said that it will take time for the pain to go away. He said that when he lays down it is the worse. Seating up is better, and standing up the pain seem to ease up. They gave him some warning signs if the bleeding start back, i.e. blurred vision, vomitting, diahera, etc.
I think that he should still be in the hospital until he feels normal. What are the warning signs that he should be back in the hospital, they live forty miles from the closest hospital.
