Hello
As per your symptoms,it doesnt seem to be internal bleed.
The signs of internal bleed after head injury is altered level of conscoiusness,repeated vomitings,seizures,persistent headache,loss of vision or in case of internal bleed in abdomen,marked swelling and tenderness in abdomen along with signs of shock (again altered sensorium,hypotension etc).
The bleeding through nose or the blood ckot you mentioned was due to trauma to external lining of inner part of nose that leads to mild bleeding.
Dark urine could be due to dehydration and because you are worried,you are associating this thing with bleeding and that trauma.Also mild bleed in urine could be due to mild trauma to kidneys or bladder but it will settle spontaneously.
Hope it will help :-)
