What Causes Headache, Bruising On Head, Pain In Eyebrow Bone After An Accident With Normal CT Scan Results?

I was in a very severe car accident a little over a month ago. I walked away with just bumps and bruises all over my body, due to the fact that I was in a good car, wearing my seat belt, and got to a trauma center very quickly. i had a CT Scan done immediately after arriving at the trauma center. The accident was a rollover. The CT Scan showed no internal bleeding, no nothing, all was fine. I was bruised on my head, including my left eyebrow bone. My left eyebrow bone is still giving me quite a bit of pain. I realize that a bruise to the bone will take quite a bit of time to heal, but I have been having headaches with it as well recently. I am experiencing quite a bit of anxiety with getting back to driving, etc. even though the accident was not my fault. I am working with a professional on this. I have been to my GP, Eye Doctor, and a few other Doctors since the accident. There is nothing wrong with the eye itself. But, I still don t like that I am getting these headaches with the eye pain. Would a CT Scan pick up a fracture? Could a fracture develop this long after a trauma?

Hello
Thanks for writing to us

You may have headache for some period as you had concussion injury.
It is good CT Scan had been done and it is fine.
Yes,definitely CT Scan can detect bony fracture.It is very sensitive for bony lesions.
At present you should take analgesics and anti inflammatory drugs for short duration.
Get well soon.

Take Care
