Possible concussion to front and back of head?

I had bad fall from a ladder about 10 feet high and my head hit the flagstone pathway. It cut the upper right eye and the head, I went to get it stitched up, and had them removed yesterday. I've been having bad headaches after this happened, and my vision has been impaired to the point I can't see wall enough to work effectively. I'm thinking of going to the hospital tomorrow and having an MRI + X-ray. Just curious if anyone else has had this happen. Thanks and appreciate any answers.

What the first answer said + you can't just go to a hospital and get an x-ray and mri. A doctor has to order them.

X-ray won't show anything, and MRI is not the test of choice for head trauma (we usually start with a CT). In either case, get yourself to a doctor soon. Headache after a fall is one thing, but vision impairment is not good.

I wouldn't go to the hospital right away. If this has been happening soon after you got your stitches removed, I think it's just side effects. But if it is ongoing, call you doctor.

Symthoms of a concussion usually are dizziness and nausea. But I'm sure they checked you out for a concussion when they sticked you up!
