Head Injury, Arm Pain, Dizziness, Pain On The Place Of Impact. Cause Of Worry?
My 8 year hold hit her head on the pole in the basement playing around and she is complaining of pain from her shoulder to her elbow . Her head only hurts on the place of impact. Immediately following the accident she felt dizzy and laid down...the dizziness faded and her arm is still hurting her . She does not want to pick anything up and it hurts when she raises her arm above her head. Should I be concerned and take her to the ER?
