Suggest Remedy For Numbness & Indent In Head
I actually fell asleep sitting up in my bed... when I fell back I hit the lower left region of the back of my head... when I woke 4 hrs later I was still leaning against the headboard and had a large indent where i landed. Now the area above it has a slight "numbness" to it, should I be worried?
