Is Numb Head And Skull Changing Its Shape After Having Staples Near Scalp Normal?
About a year ago I fell and had to have 5 staples to close my scalp. The hospital did a cat scan..no concussion. Since then I have fallen several more times. Straight on my butt. With such force it felt like my brain was josalled. Now half my head feels numb and the shape of my skull is changing shape.

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms are quite normal due to skull bone remodelation.
The numbness could be related to a pinched nerve.
Anyway, if the problem persists, I would recommend performing a brain CT scan and checking vitamin D levels and inflammation tests (complete blood count, sedimentation rate, PCR).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
