on 2/13/07. I landed on my neck/back/butt and hit my head hard. CT scans at er showed all ok. Neurologist called & said he found a small abnormality in the frontal lobe (right side). He referred me to a neurosurgeon. Anyway, as for the soreness of my back etc. i am feeling way better, BUT, the bump on my head is still bigger than the size of a quarter, is super sore, and i'm VERY dizzy on and off all day. Is this normal? When should this bump be completely healed? When i first hit it, it swelled to the size of a golf ball and was "mushy". Now its smaller but HARD!!! Shouldn't it have gone down already?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

it's normal for a bruise to get harder and consolidate. sometimes the hematoma will get calcified and get as hard as a bone- that won't ever resolve unless you get it surgically excised. fortunately, that's not a big problem.
what IS a problem is the frontal lobe abnormality that was incidentally found on the CT scan. if you've got a brain tumor, that might be causing your dizziness. you should do that follow-up with the neurosurgeon.

Go back to your doctor and let him know you're concerned. This is nothing to take lightly or freak out about.

i agree with peridotty. something is wrong and head injuries need to be addressed.
