Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Headache And Weakness In Arms After Head Injury?
Hello. I fell and hit my head on the concrete last weekend. I woke up and it felt bruised on my left temple area. It wasn t bruised externally but had the same feeling. A week later I get this massive headache, and have been pretty clumsy. My arm feels weak. Is this something serious? Or does it sound like a concussion?
Hi. It could be concussion or the cause of numbness in arm could be compression on the supplying nerve. The best way is not to ignore it and get all the possibilies excluded by a series of tests your doctor/ neurologist might advise. Head injuries should not be neglected since these may complications later in life too. Hope this answers your query.
