Your head may have quit hurting, but that doesn't mean you didn't have a concussion.
Loss of consciousness is ONE sign of a concussion, but you can stay perfectly awake and still have one. Pro wrestlers get them and often even finish the match - but seldom remember it later.
If you think you may have had one, make an appointment with your friendly neighborhood physician. He can tell you with a lot more surety than your mother can, and what to do (or not to do) about it.
Or heck, stay off your feet for a couple of days, take ibuprofen (the stronger the better) to reduce swelling, and put an icepack on it every so often.
Trust me, I know about these things. :D |
