I fell down and hit my head while watering my grass. I had an instant headache and now my head, neck and left shoulder blade hurts. Also I have 3 bruises which showed up on my leg within 4 minutes of falling down. The are accompanied by 3 hard bumps and they look like they are with the same blood vessel. I'm worried that this is going to cause vericose veins. What can I do to stop it? It is still pretty early being it was only 10 minutes ago, and I was hoping I could do something to stop it from happening.

The part of my leg I hurt is hurting pretty bad and only right the area where the three bruises are.

I keep feeling water running down my leg, but my leg is dry.

Poor Peggy--The head lumps are the most worrisome. If you are dizzy, really sleepy or get sick to your stomach--seek medical help immediately.
Your leg sounds like you banged a nerve which will get better on its own. Hope you put ice on all the hurts and bumps to reduce swelling.
If you feel bad go see a Dr. Don't worry about varicose veins--they're hereditary not caused by accidents.

You hit your head and your biggest worry is vericose veins? It must have been hit pretty hard.. it seems to have messed up your priorities. Go see the doc.

It won't cause varicose veins, but it could cause a big clot that will create a hole in your leg. If it still hurts after 3 days, call your doctor.

you should be at the hospital getting x-rays to show what damage has been done
