i hit my head, now im having head aches.

[Mandy_Best]

I hit my head last night but it didn't bother me until I layer down, the I started getting sharp pains in my head. They went away but keep coming back. What should I do?
What could be wrong? I've had decompression surgery before.

  That should help if you are in that much pain and having the bels palsey like symptoms....do get someone to see you.

Go to the ER immediately and get a ct scan of the head. You need to rule out subdural bleeding.

It could also be your neck acting up but just to be safe..

Since I have first read your post, it has been a few days. Have you been able to find a doctor? And, did you go to the er to rule out the things mentioned above by Ball123? Please post back so we can know your status and continue to give you support.

I went to my old PCP today, and reported all my symptoms and that I hit my head and all that he did was ordered an X-ray of my neck,
There's no way to tell if there is CSF build up from an X-ray and I can tell from experience the headache is due to pressure. I am so frustrated that my doctor doesn't understand, although I received a steroid shot and it has relieved my headache a little I am still scared something could be wrong and am considering an ER visit for a CT scan or possibly an MRI.

Having dealt with this for so long I can FEEL that something is not right, the symptoms are different than before, even different than before my surgery.

  Hi Mandy ...you are right a Xray will not show any soft tissue issue .....and you know what is going on more so then your PCP....mine did the same thing with me....ordered an xray when a MRI was needed....I had to inform him what Chiari was and he did change the RX to a MRI.....you just may need to help him understand. That would be less expensive then an ER visit.
