Posted on Sat, 13 Dec 2014
Question: After a fall in September hitting my forehead on edge of kitchen counter, I have now developed a sharp pain in that area. What could be the cause? It's only been in the last few weeks. I did have a CT scan after the fall.

Brief Answer:
Trauma to nerve fiber may be the cause

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The cause could be the injury to nerve fibers along with formation of fibrous tissue at the site of injury. It takes time and will heal of its own.
Meanwhile, my suggestion would be-Gentle massage at the site of injury along with mild heat, Tablet.Limcee (vitamin C); Exercises (frowning and looking upwards) helps in early recovery beside pain killer.
Hope this suffices.
Take care
