I was both clumsy and a hypochondriac.
Nah, I already knew that. *Everybody* knows that. I think it's in my Permanent Record. Possibly tattooed on my scalp (just not near where I whacked it).
It would be a way more clear-cut decision if it hurt like this right when it whacked my head. Why would it take 4 days to start hurting? That's just weird and slightly troubling.
Maybe it hurts now because you were sleeping directly on it last night?
I would go to Urgent Care. They might send you to the ER, but at least you can say "I went to Urgent Care and they sent me here", it might help you jump the line :)
It's your brain and it hurts suddenly and you can't find a bump or scrape or obvious indication why it hurts. Go.

- speaking as The One Who Sprayed Antihistimine In Her Eye And Worried About Exploding...
Steph, no. go - if you're hurting and it's been a while since you banged your head, I'd say go to Urgent Care just for the look.
I never post in here and I never go to urgent care, but I am 99.9999% sure that a nurse would tell you to go, even if it is probably nothing. They do not like to mess with head injuries over the phone.
Oh, balls. Maybe I'll go.
Brains should be spicy, not scrambled. They are also finicky and you'd tell anyone else to get checked out.
It's not like the worst that can happen is you'll scar slightly worse or feel itchy. Brains get checked out.
