Head trauma, what kind of symptoms signify ?

Question

a blood clot, or intracranial pressure. Long story short, I fell off a ladder 3 months ago and hit my head extremely hard, it got swollen, I put ice on the giant lump, it went away after a few days, but the sensation of a head injury never went away. Week later my eyes mysteriosuly turned cloudy red(the white part), I thought it was related to something else(keratitis) but got away from that because whenever I lay down, my eyes turn red. This is apparant because I go to sleep,I wake up and my eyes are red. So Im thinking that I have a slo bleed in my head, that is causing intracranila pressure and causing what seems to be papilledema. I also started having abdominal cramps a month after the injury, with occasional back bain, I dont know if they are all related, but I am worried I hae a blood clot or intrcrnial pressure.

BTW, my head is lumpier on the side I hit my head on, it seems like my head is swollen, but ut soft, my head is hard all over, but not symmetrical like it used to be(I am 100% sure of this). So let me know what you think, I went to a doc, but since I didnt have any serious symptoms he didnt do a x ray.

You seem to know a lot about head injuries to be unaware of whether or not you have a head injury. Your symptoms are very random. Eyes turning red could be because of high bloodpressure, allergies, lack of sleep, irritants, rubbing your eyes, eye strain.... a lot of things. Abdominal cramps an entire month after the injury are probably not from the injury. It too can be from a bunch of different things, including high bloodpressure, stress, a bad diet..etc. Back pain is the same. A bunch of things could cause it.

Your head will be lumpier on the side you hit because your body reacted to the injury by building up tissue on that side. You can actually cause the bone to react and build a calcium deposit, leaving a lump.

Honestly, it sounds like you have done a lot of research and it's made you totally paranoid. Could you be a hypochondriac? No offense meant, but a lot of times hypochondriacs know a lot about medical conditions and seem to feel they have a lot of different things.
