What Causes Severe Pain In The Head Post A Head Trauma?

On Saturday I had a horse fall on me as I was leading it over an icepatch. the horse flailed and I took a hoof to the top but closer to back of my head which caused a substantial scalp laceration. Since that time I my head has been bleeding off and on, I am having periods of confusion and I get sudden severe pain in my head and pass out. this has happened 2 times now. I have also noticed a change in my vison since the event. I went to the hospital where they did a head Ct and glued my scalp back together. The doctor said it would have been to many stitches and glue was better. I personally have no opinion. There was no skull fracture that was seen. What could be causing these issues. Oh I also got a wedge fracture at L1 I don't know if you need to know that.
