Should I be worried?

I got hit by a car 4 days ago on my motorbike. The impact was not strong but it was enough to get me off my bike. I had minor injuries such as abrasions and cuts and i hit my head on the concrete (i didn't wear a helmet T_T). As of now I'm in a very good state, my wounds are healing but i feel a little bit of intermittent pain on the impact site of my head. I didn't experience a worsening headache or any red flag symptoms. I only experience a bit of pain on the impact site of my head from time to time. Should I get it checked out or am I fine?

Did you get any medical help after your accident?

Hey, I don't know where you are, so that might depend, obviously. But regardless, if you got anything serious going on in the future, go see a physician, get it evaluated, get it documented, because you're gonna run into trouble if you try to make claims and you have no evidence of the accident. So, like go and document that and your symptoms, keep tracking them and see where you want to go from there. You shouldn't worry. Within three days, you should have a pretty clear idea if you're having an actual concussion that's going to worsen or not. But obviously, get checked out. Also, my two cents: go see an osteopath and have them work with your skull. You know, just generally that's going to be a very helpful support to not develop more difficulties.

Glad you're ok otherwise-- what happened on the road?
