Maybe it hurts now because you were sleeping directly on it last night?
Hmmm. That could be.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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 :)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's your brain and it hurts suddenly and you can't find a bump or scrape or obvious indication why it hurts. Go.

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.

Okay, but the only symptom I'm having is pain at the site of whacking. (I am having the HARDEST time trying to get it through Tim's head that this isn't a headache, that it's like a bruise. I keep saying that headaches hurt from the inside out, and bruises hurt from the outside in [which is not strictly true, but it's the best comparison I could make, but maybe that doesn't make sense and that's a sign I should seek medical help], and this is the latter kind of pain. It feels like any other impact injury would -- your outside gets hit and then it hurts. Not like a headache, which is that something inside starts hurting. Fuck, does that make sense? Because I can't word it properly to make Tim understand it at all.)
Anyway, long parenthetical aside, literally the only symptom I have is external pain at the site of whacking. Every other symptom on the list of concussion/brain injury symptoms is not present. I feel like Urgent Care would just laugh at me and send me home with tylenol. I don't think an ER would do a CT scan of someone with only one symptom.
Damn it, I don't even know.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Makes sense to me.
I personally would not bother, but I'm way too lackadaisical about shit, so.
