What Causes Numbness And Shoot Sensation Due To Head Injury?
I slammed by a metal door when a cow kicked it and got a cut in my head about 2 1/2 inches wide.. Guessing 1/2 deep? Not sure. The front of the cut closest to my face has feeling and when I touch a certain spot there it shoots a sensation all the way up my head. On the other side of the cut the whole side of my head is numb about 4 inch perimeter around the cut. Is this normal?
