Son of a bitch. Last week I slipped on some ice on a job site and pull some muscles or something in my right hand. That sucked but I will live.
Today I was on another job site greasing my machine and went to turn around. Slipped on some ice, as I did that I threw the battery operated grease gun. I hit the ground slamming my knee into the asphalt. Then slammed my left hand into the ice while bouncing my head off the asphalt. As my head rebounded off the frozen asphalt I started to wonder where the grease guuuuu....BANG. Fucking thing landed on the back of my head. ![]() Knee hurts when I lift it with my work boots on or when my kids come over and hit it. ![]() About an hour after this happened I found a good little lump on the back of my head. Fucking ice. Is it spring time yet? James |

Sorry to hear you had a shitty day. I can't count the times I slipped on the ice, and the cold only magnifies the pain. Landing knee first doesn't make it anymore pleasent..

Well its a good thing that you found the hematoma on your head. As much as it hurts, hematomas are a good sign that your brain is alright. If not i'd be worried about blood leaking inward.....

![]() My knee hurts the most. They both were sore before I went down. I'm not looking forward to making another trip up stairs to go to bed. Oh well. Lifes a bitch. James |

You should be fine. I neglected to mention the time I fell flat on my back from slipping and hit my head pretty hard, and I had no complications. Your knee did take the initial blow, and I'm assuming you attempted to brace for impact from that point forward. Of course, If in doubt just take a trip to the doctor's office. No biggie. |

Well.... marks bad, hematoma good. Lets say ohhh.... you lose balance and fall backwards playing tennis and slam your head into the concrete and blank out. If you dont have a hematoma and get dizzy or sick, the damage is inward and you should most likely go to the hospital. But in *cough* my case, i got a hematoma and the pressure was realesed outwards. Use some bengay on the knee....
