Does A Sore Spot On The Head From A Fall Need Medical Attention?

I fell and hit my head on a stone flower pot when I slipped on the icy sidewalk outside my house this morning. I didn't passout but i hit it pretty hard. Do I need to go to the dr.?
I'm 29 and it happened so quickly that I didn't catch myself as I fell backwards so the only thing that broke my fall was my head hitting the cement. I feel tired but it's just a little sore on that spot. No headache or double vision or abnormal feelings/behavior.

Hello there,
To answer your question, if you hit your head very hard on the pot and if you have any bleeding from nose or ears, blackening around eyes, nausea or vomiting, double vision or episode of unconsciousness you need to visit your doctor immediately. If everything seems alright and only there is a painful spot then dont worry. That soreness will remain for a day or two.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
