Gash On Forehead After Car Accident. Cut Through Nerve. Very Painful. Nerve Healing?
After a car accident I suffered a six inch gash on my forehead above my right eyebrow to the top of my hair line. This happened three weeks ago but as yet I can t feel anything on the right side of my head and under my right eye. The doctor told me I cut through a nerve. But I seem to be getting sharp pains in that side of my face. Is the nerve healing? Or what is this pain??

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic,
It is possible to have nerve injury in the incident and injury to sensory nerves can give rise to pain ,tingling sensation, impaired sensation. these can persist for few months till the nerve injury heals and get complete recovery
hope you recover completely.
