Head Bump
Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2018 11:24 am
Hey all,
Was playing soccer last night, went up for a header and copped either an elbow or another head straight into the edge of my forehead, which swelled up into a huge egg looking thing almost instantly. Came off straight away and iced it. Kept icing it on and off most of the night.
Swelling has probably gone down by about 50-60% this morning.
All I want to know is... when will I be right to ride again?!
There's no pain unless you put a bit of pressure on it. I tried my helmet on and no issues there, but I figure I probably shouldn't go exerting myself too much?
Anyone know how long these things normally take to go away?
Cheers.
