View allHow long do damaged nerves take to heal?
Regeneration time depends on how seriously your nerve was injured and the type of injury that you sustained. If your nerve is bruised or traumatized but is not cut, it should recover over 6-12 weeks. A nerve that is cut will grow at 1mm per day, after about a 4 week period of 'rest' following your injury.

I banged my head pretty hard on the garage door when it was going up last night. I didnt pass out, there's no blood, and I haven't thrown up or anything, but there's this burning sensation and a slight headache going on. The ER doc said it's not a concussion, but I'm kind of worried. How would I know if there's any internal bleeding? And also, should I consider pausing my birth control pills while I'm figuring this out?
Monitoring for Internal Bleeding_ 1. *Watch for worsening headache*: If your headache worsens or becomes severe, seek immediate medical attention. 2. *Look for other symptoms*: Monitor for symptoms like: - Dizziness or loss of balance - Nausea or vomiting - Blurred vision or sensitivity to light - Confusion or disorientation - Weakness or numbness in arms or legs 3. *Seek immediate medical attention if you experience*: - Sudden severe headache - Difficulty speaking or swallowing - Weakness or paralysis in face, arm, or leg - Vision changes or double vision _Birth Control Pills_ As a precautionary measure, consider stopping your birth control pills temporarily until you're cleared by your doctor. Birth control pills can increase the risk of blood clots, which may be a concern if you have internal bleeding. _Follow-up_ Schedule a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist within the next 24-48 hours to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action.
