Should I Be Worried?

[Jeimuzu]

Yesterday I took a big fall on my wakeboard while on the lake, and i woke up a minute later after headbutting my board. Then I stumbled inside and fell asleep on my massive couch. I woke up and my Gf was asleep on my bed and the clock
Said 12 pm. Then it hit me, I had chronic arthritis pain in my hands, a massive headache, and loss of balance. Ive also had Mild dihareeah throughout the day. Its 7:03 now, and everything you just read is all I remember from yesterday to
today.

Sounds like you lost electrolytes, primarily salt, which is why you might be feeling something like arthritis. The massive headache and loss of balance can both be due to dehydration/head exhaustion. If you've been sweating a lot and it's been hot and what not, my suggestion to you is to drink some vitamin water and take in water slowly.

Otherwise, I sincerely suggest what Zero said. Get checked out.

That's just my assessment from an EMT's standpoint though. In other words, don't take my word for it, go see a doc.

Shit so that is why my hand was killing me the other day. I had drank a lot the night before but was sure to drink a half gallon or so of water so I was fine the next morning but my hand was killing me. Well now I know to stock up on a bit of vitamin water with electrodes next time.

snacks help too. especially pretzels or chips. anything that has salt in it.

What I always found funny is that I drink the most when on vacation in the DR; however, it never effects me the next morning no matter what. Beyond even having hangover or not I will be perfectly rested and ready to go within 8 hours. The key is that before bed I not only make sure that I have a lot of water but also eat some German pretzels and or have wiener schnitzel. Logically to I start the next morning with 2-3 glasses of chinola juice.
